    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to report that now Kenya is ranked No.7 in global competiveness in the continent down from No.1 out of these types of reforms. THAT, efforts by the Petitioners to move the TSC to address the matter have been unsuccessful; THAT, the issues in respect of which the Petition is raised are not pending before any court of law, constitutional or any legal body; Therefore, your humble Petitioners pray that this House, through the Departmental Committee on Education and Research, intervenes in the matters raised in this Petition as follows: (i) inquires into the circumstances under which the TSC has, since 2014, unilaterally declined to recognise Diplomas, Undergraduate, Graduate and Postgraduate degrees earned by in-service teachers from recognised universities; (ii) recommends that the TSC immediately puts in place necessary policy guidelines to promote or upgrade teachers who successfully acquire higher qualifications from recognised institutions in line with international best practices and the recommendations of the ILO/UNESCO Conference of (1966) on the Status of Teachers; and, (iii) makes any other recommendations deemed fit in addressing the plight of the Petitioners with a view to safeguarding Kenya’s competitiveness and hitherto coveted place in the field of education.
