    "content": "The issue of giving TSC the function to manage the payroll of teachers is also very important. It will streamline all the issues that have been there before and all the agreements that have been made between the teachers and the Government. They have an independent constitutional Commission that is going to manage the payroll and whole welfare of teachers. I think we are moving in the right direction. That is a good function. Above all, it is very important that the Commission has been given a very clear mandate to facilitate career progression. I think this is going to be very good for our teachers. Career advancement is a must and is being now regulated by TSC. Professional development of teachers is going to be a must. It will be on-going. That will really build capacity of our teachers and give us quality education. Monitoring the performance of teachers is very important. It is now very clear that although teachers have been opposed to performance contracting before, but since the Commission has been given that function to monitor the performance of teachers in the teaching service--- It is good that everybody is put on performance contracting or some benchmarking to ensure that the objectives of the profession are achieved. I think that is very good."
