    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. This Statement is actually closely related. I think that it is because we are teachers and are always concerned about our colleagues. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on the introduction of the in service teachers’ training policy by TSC. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain the reason behind the introduction of the in service professional training policy by TSC. (2) State why teachers are required to cater for the cost related to their on the job professional development as opposed to the practice where the cost of such professional development programs is always catered for by the employer. (3) Shed light on the criteria used in selecting Kenyatta University, Mount Kenya University, Riara University and the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI) as trainers disregarding other institutions that are near schools for the convenience of the teachers. (4) TSC should explain the rationale on the consideration of teachers’ performance in the modules as one of the components to be evaluated for promotions noting that the training is not compulsory requirement. (5) Inform the Senate whether relevant stakeholders were involved through public participation for implementation of the policy. Thank you."
