    "content": "Therefore, your humble petitioners pray for intervention of this House to: (i) cause the TSC to undertake public participation on the TPD Policy as required under Article 232(1)(d) of the Constitution and take into account the views of teachers and stakeholders in order to build consensus on and ownership of the Programme; (ii) restrain the TSC from rolling out the Teacher Professional Development Programme, as currently designed, until the concerns raised by the petitioners are resolved; (iii)inquire into the circumstances under which the TSC selected only four institutions, all in the Nairobi region, to offer the TPD Programme despite there being other reputable universities countrywide; (iv) recommend to the Ministry of Education to take over implementation of the Teacher Professional Development Programme as an integral part of the Competency Based Curriculum uptake; (v) recommend that the Ministry of Education meets the cost of the mandatory professional development programme for teachers in public institutions in line with international labour practices that obligate an employer who comes up with compulsory employee capacity-strengthening programmes to plan to shoulder the attendant cost of the training; (vi) put in place a necessary legislative framework to provide for the establishment of a professional regulatory body for teachers, so as to avoid conflicts of interest where the TSC acts as both an employer and a regulator of teachers; and (vii) make any other recommendations deemed fit in securing the petitioners’ rights. Your humble petitioners will ever pray. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
