• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: After that, schools got back their students. But it may not necessarily be the same number that they had. So, the staffing that we are going to do now will be based on the actual number that is in those schools. So, even the school that you are talking about will get the view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am not sure whether it is in order for hon. Members to exchange documents across the Table. view
• 24 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Motion. If what the Motion is asking for was to be implemented, then our public schools would be performing much better. I do not think anyone else would be taking his or her child to a private school. It is true that the private schools today are performing much better than public schools. However, sometime back, in the history of this country, the best performing schools were the public schools. Those days, we used to refer to private schools as Harambee schools. They were very bad. They did ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Since 1st January, 2008, a total of 257 P1 teachers completed university degree and were promoted. Teachers undertake degree courses privately. After graduation, they forward their degree certificates to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for salary adjustment. Thus, it is not practical to determine promotion levels and trends. (b) There is no established post-graduate degree curriculum for P1 teachers and other non post-graduate teachers. The curriculums are developed by the respective view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is aware that resources are so limited for us that we cannot even hire teachers who are trained. So, if we are to do so, we would even have a more serious shortage of teachers. So, as of now, those who want to train pay their own fees. Once they are through with their training, they get promotion and salary adjustment. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once they forward their certificates they will be considered for promotion. Some of them will be put in the position of quality assessment officers and all other senior offices that will be available. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I got the hon. Member well, he wants me to tell him what we will do for those teachers who are in hardship in areas to access further education. It has to be their initiative. We do not take universities to those areas. But otherwise, when it comes to hardship allowance, they benefit from that. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: The Ministry’s incentive is that once those teachers upgrade their education, they will be promoted accordingly. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since last year we have upgraded over 2,000 teachers who graduated. That tells you that we are doing it. Any teacher who presents his or her certificates will get a promotion and salary adjustment. So, it is up to view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know very well that the Ministry of Education does not admit teachers for degree programmes. It is up to the university to decide whether the grade of C-(minus) or C+ (plus) can be admissible for a degree programme. The Ministry deals with certificates when they are presented. That is the policy as per today. view
