Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that education is a key enabler of national development and realisation of Kenya’s Vision 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals; appreciating the invaluable role that teachers play in actualising the national goals of education; noting that a conducive working environment for teachers enhances performance; recalling that the delocalisation of teachers commenced in 2018 by the Teachers Service Commission immensely disrupted teachers’ lives, lowered teacher morale and caused untold trauma to many teachers countrywide; concerned that the exercise was not supported with a clear policy framework and was initiated without the participation of teachers or their unions contrary to Articles 118 and 132 of the Constitution on public participation and involvement of the people in the process of policy making; cognisant of the fact that delocalisation of teachers is inconsistent with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) teacher deployment practice, which treats education as a culture process conducted within a people’s cultural context at the local level; this House resolves that the Teachers Service Commission immediately reverses the ongoing delocalisation of teachers and initiates a comprehensive review of the teacher deployment policy with the involvement of teachers in order to make the policy consistent with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and UNESCO laws and practices on teacher management and deployment. Hon. Speaker, I thank God for the opportunity he has given me. I thank the people of Lurambi for electing me for a second time. As I move this Motion, we are all aware that we The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
