Teachers are facing another round of transfers in the wake of public outcry over insecurity. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has instructed its county offices to evaluate staffing in their regions and recommended deployments to ensure safety of teachers.

In a circular sent to County Directors of Education (CDEs), the commission wants all non-local teachers to be deployed to schools in urban areas.
