"content": "Can there be considerations, in the job evaluations, such that teachers who are within the creative arts can be considered and treated in a manner where their skill, arts or sports can be appreciated and incentivized? That way, we can then say that we have qualified teachers who can train drama. As it stands now, we are getting drama teachers from the creative arts outside because most of the teachers do not have that skill and the ones who have the skill are not compensated for it. That is my additional question. Thank you."

The CBC brought a lot of administrative responsibilities to the head teachers who are from a different curriculum to this new curriculum. Has the Ministry considered the impact of CBC on the mental health and well-being of primary school head teachers? What is it doing to cater for their mental health? Thank you."

"content": "I will start with Sen. Joe Nyutu’s question. Yes, an assessment was done to the content for the teachers who are handling junior school. To that extent, a number of teachers have so far been retooled. A total of 220,000 teachers have been retooled in all of the CBC programme to ensure that they are brought up to the standard to handle the content that is provided for in JSS and the other areas. They are subject-specific. However, we still have shortfalls and gaps. That is why we did an internship of 20,000 this year. We also provided resources for another 20,000 next year in the budget. So, there is something that is being done to ensure that there is retooling, so that the teachers have the content and capacity to take our students through the CBC programme. Next was Sen. Orwoba’s question. We now have three pathways and arts and sports are going to be mainstreamed. They are no longer going to be a co-curricular activity that is dealt with on the sidelines. Now that it is mainstreamed, the resources will then follow that mainstreaming, including the training and capacity-building of those teachers to ensure that they are up to standard and up to date with the curriculum and training for creative arts."

"content": "The reason for this is for us to avoid a situation where outsiders go into the schools to train our students. When that happens, you do not have control over them because they do not subscribe to the code of conduct of teachers. So, if something happens, then you have no control over that. We are also creating facilities in schools that will be undertaking that particular pathway. We will have theatres and studios. For schools that will be providing sports, we are working with the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports to ensure that those schools have enough sports facilities to provide that particular subject. It will not be something that people will not benefit from. We are working on it, and it will be part and parcel of the job evaluations."

"content": "The other question was on mental health and CBC training. Teachers Service Commission (TSC) provides information on employed wellness such as counselling services. This has been enhanced with the enhanced responsibilities. As I previously said, once the job assessment is done, this will become part and parcel of career training or career teaching of the students. It will also become part and parcel of the various checks and balances on a regular basis in the institutions they are in. In fact, to date, the TSC has a unit that addresses medical issues of teachers, including other areas where teachers might be having challenges such as mental health and other areas that teachers suffer from."
