New report reveals horrors teachers face in North Eastern

The massacre of 28 teachers in Mandera in November last year would have been avoided had the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Ministries of Education and Internal Security acted on petitions by affected teachers working in North Eastern.

In petitions to their employer, the TSC, for transfer or improved security, the teachers tell of harrowing experiences at the hands of students, head teachers, parents and county education officers who derogatorily refer to them as adhome (slaves), or nguraro (‘hard’ hair) or kafir (unholy).
