Thirty-one teachers from across the country have been recognised by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for their exemplary performance as the world marks Teachers’ Day.
Speaking during the celebrations held in Nairobi on Tuesday, TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia lauded the teachers saying they had “consistently demonstrated exemplary performance in teaching, management and effective delivery of the curriculum for quality education.”
Dr. Macharia noted that the 31 teachers were selected after a meticulous process.
“I wish to state that the process of identifying the teachers to be rewarded today has been done in strict conformity to the TSC Performance Recognition, Reward and Sanction Policy Framework. All the 31 teachers will be feted based on the rewards system outlined in this TSC policy – which stresses on meritocracy and detailed due diligence in recognising staff,” she said.
She added: “I wish to state that we are not in any way suggesting that the 31 teachers are the only remarkable teachers we have in the practice. In fact, this number is just the tip of the ice berg. And we, at the TSC, will keep finding more ways to ensure all our teachers feel recognised and appreciated for their work.”
