Solve problems facing teachers in North Eastern, State told

Kenya: The more than 2,000 teachers stationed in three counties in the North Eastern region are willing to return to work if the county governments and the teachers’ employer address their issues.

The Standard has established the teachers have staged a protest at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) head office over a raft of issues they say threaten their security in Mandera, Wajir and Garissa. It emerged that the management of national examinations in the three counties, discrimination against non-local teachers and lack of voice in public schools’ leadership are at the heart of discontent.
