The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has issued transfer letters to all the 13 teachers at Kirimon Primary School in Samburu.
The teachers had demanded to be transferred after they were attacked and beaten by students
The school, with a population of 756 pupils, was immediately closed following the shocking incident.
TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia had directed Samburu County Education director to transfer the teachers after they vowed not to return to the school, citing fears over their security.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Samburu County Executive Secretary Raphael Leshalote lauded TSC, the union and the Ministry of Education for responding swiftly on the matter and responding to the teachers’ appeal for transfer.
He was speaking at the TSC offices in Maralal Town on Tuesday immediately after meeting all the teachers from Kirimon Primary School and giving them their transfer letters.
“We have come here with all the teachers from the affected school to listen to them and give them their transfer letters to their schools of choice for their own safety and for them to discharge their duties well,” Mr Leshalote said.
The TSC is still investigating into the matter to find out what led to the children to cane their teachers.
