Sobriety necessary in fixing education woes

No doubt, being randy is not part of the job description for teachers. Because of this very negative aspect in the teaching profession, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) struck off its teaching roll 216 teachers who were found guilty of engaging in sexual acts with their students.

Under the auspices of the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association (Kessha), 7,300 head teachers began congregating in Mombasa for their annual meeting yesterday amid warnings from TSC that they will be held personally responsible for cases of sexual impropriety reported in their individual schools. Sexual molestation in schools has been on an upward spiral lately, yet the Teachers Service Commission only gets to hear about such cases from the public. The reason for this is that some head teachers have attempted cover ups.
