Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - Former Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General, Wilson Sossion, has broken his silence after a great number of students failed to perform well in the KCSE 2023 exams.
Only 22.27% (201, 133 candidates
out of 899, 453 candidates) qualified to get the minimum qualification (C+) of
direct entry to university.
In an interview with Citizen TV
on Tuesday, Sossion expressed concerns over majority of candidates scoring Ds
and Es, urging the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to invest in employing
qualified teachers without categorizing schools under national, Extra County,
county or sub-county.
“Invest in teachers for every
school; not national schools but all schools without categorization because
that is promoting discrimination and inequity.”
“A school is a school and that
school must have a qualified teacher in the classroom all the time,” he said.
“If you check the schools that have
posted A’s, they have gone the extra mile to hire BoM teachers.”
“Tenwek High School; out of the
100 teachers in the staffroom, 50 teachers are employed by the BoM,” he further
said.
Sossion also urged TSC to reward
teachers who have performed well so that they can be motivated further.
“How many teachers have we seen
being rewarded for doing well?”
“The President has reinstated both
direct and indirect promotions.”
“I would expect that TSC lays out
a plan so that teachers who have done well are motivated.”
“Quality report and review of
every school’s performance,” he said.
