A fresh row is brewing between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) over impending mass transfers and delocalisation of school heads.
Panic has hit over 30,000 heads of public schools as details emerged of a fresh shake-up by the TSC.
Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has directed its regional staff to collect and forward data of school heads who have stayed in one station for over nine years.
In a February 26 memo to all Regional Directors, TSC wants to be furnished with details of primary school headteachers and principals of secondary schools who have exited the teaching service.

Teachers have proposed a Covid-19 vaccination plan to be adopted by the Government when their turn comes for the injection.
This is after the Ministry of Health listed teachers among the frontline workers lined up for the Covid-19 vaccination.
Kenya Primary School Heads Association (Kepsha) Chairman Johnson Nzioka proposed that old teachers and those with underlying conditions be given first priority.
“Kepsha has lost members to the coronavirus that has continued to ravage the education sector and the country at large with a massive and unprecedented impact on families,” said Nzioka.
He said the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) should provide a list of teachers who are in high-risk categories to get the jab first followed by head teachers.
