Dadaab Member of National Assembly Mohammed Dahiye now wants the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to employ teachers in North Eastern Region on contract terms.
Dahiye said this move will allow those teachers who might feel that they are not comfortable with the schools they work in the region to resign and seek transfers without affecting other teachers.
Last month, TSC advertised recruitment of 900 tutors for Wajir County where 585 posts were to go to primary schools and the 315 for secondary schools.
This was after non-local teachers were transferred over insecurity.
Speaking during Dadaab Sub-County Education day Dahiye said Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has turned the region into are recruiting center for teachers who have missed an opportunity in other parts of the country.
Heat the same time said the area leadership will ask the Ministry of Education to lower entry point for P1 teaching course from C stand to C- and D+ to enable the local school leavers to take up the teaching profession in a bid to bringing a solution to the education crisis in the region.
The legislator further said those who will enroll for teaching in any college in the country, will be fully funded by CDF kitty for the entire two-year period.
Dahiye took issue with Kenya National Union of Teachers Secretary General Wilson Sossion for further complicating the matter by urging its members to withdraw from the region without consulting the region’s leadership.
He said KNUT should be mindful of the learners in these areas adding that by doing so the future lives of the youngsters will be in jeopardy.
