By Standard Digital Reporter

Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against teachers who do not report back to school.

In a statement TSC directed school heads to take roll call of all teachers present and send the data.

“Heads of institutions are required to take daily roll call of all teachers at 8am and at the end of every working day and submit the data to TSC County Directors,” the statement read in part.

The statement signed by TSC CEO Gabriel Lengoiboni added: “Disciplinary action will be taken against those who fail to abide by the court ruling or engage in unprofessional conduct such as absenteeism, disruption of classes,”

Lengoiboni also directed school heads, their deputies and senior teachers to ensure they are in school at all times to ensure safety of pupils and students.
