The above mentioned teachers lie in the same category of 50,000 teachers stagnated in the same job group for many years. The promotions will act as a sigh of relief to them.
According to the KUPPET secretary General Akello Misori , the promotions are majorly targeting teachers in job group C4 and C5. These teachers have stagnated in the same job group for several years.
Additionally, the secretary general highlighted the importance of these promotions. He affirmed that these teachers will be promoted to job group C5 and D1. Consequently, this will bring a gap in the job groups they have left giving an opportunity to C3 teachers to be promoted.
Nevertheless, the teachers union indicated that several teachers were overlooked in the recently concluded promotions. The teachers were in job group C4 and were 7,400 in number. The reason for them being locked out of promotions is that they haven’t finished three years in their current grades.
Consequently, a good number of teachers is anticipating for full implementation of the agreement signed between TSC and the teachers’ unions.
Additionally, the commission has laid down plans to hire junior secondary school teachers on permanent and pensionable terms. Most of these teachers are working under internship . The commission is waiting for allocation of funds to employ these teachers upon approval by parliament.
