The fate of about 4,000 teachers hangs in the balance two years after they were transferred to the Public Service Commission (PSC) to teach in technical colleges.

The teachers, now referred to as trainers, were moved from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) after the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) Act, 2013 transferred the technical training function from to the State Department for Vocational and Technical Training.
