The teachers will also be operating without a medical cover from December as the reality of budget adjustments sets in. TSC chief executive Nancy Macharia told MPs on Wednesday teachers will have to wait longer as honouring the collective bargain agreement is untenable. The second phase of 2021-25 amended CBA was to be implemented by end of this month. Macharia said the earliest they can recruit the 20,000 teachers is October this year, while intern teachers will wait up to January next year. The CEO said the teachers will also not have a medical cover if the proposed budget cuts are allowed to stand.
