The Teachers Service Commission has sharply criticised the national government’s education policies, saying they are a cause of the frequent calls for teachers strikes, failed projects and low-quality education. In its strategic plan (2019-2023), the teachers' employer says the policy framework has caused low morale among teachers, compromising the quality of education. The government has been keen on ensuring free primary education, 100 per cent transition to secondary schools and affordable secondary education. But the TSC says the measures aiming to reform the sector have compromised the quality of education. TSC said it requires Sh11 billion over the next five years to initiate reforms, enhance service delivery and provide a world-class education system.
