Teachers’ promotion fiasco an indictment of TSC

By JOHN KARIUKI

On Thursday, April 17 2014, The Standard led with the story of an imminent clash between the TSC and the teachers union Knut, over promotion of teachers. The new battle front concerns some 50,000 teachers who applied for promotion last year, but who cannot get upgraded because the TSC would require Sh6.6 billion to do against a budgetary allocation of Sh600 million in the 2013/14 financial year.
