Unapologetic TSC Replaces All 742 Sacked JSS Interns. It has caught the attention of the public domain that the Teachers service commission has replaced the 742 sacked jss interns. The commission has moved with speed and replaced the teachers even without the teachers undergoing a fair trial.
For instance, jss teachers from Asome Pioneer school in Kisii have been directed to stay away from school. This comes amid reports of the teachers being replaced. The replacement has been hurriedly done by the Teachers service commission.
This has happened barely two weeks after the leadership of jss teachers opted to call off the strike. The leadership had given TSC an ultimatum of one month to confirm the intern teachers into permanent and pensionable terms . Consequently, failure to confirm them would make them call for another strike.
