“We have a system to indicate who will be first to get the vaccines,” Kagwe said, adding that the jab will not be compulsory. Separately, Teachers Service Commission Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia has dismissed fears that staff who work from home will be fired. Even before Covid-19, teachers fell sick and nobody would wish to make matters worse for teachers,” said Ms Macharia. The CEO said teachers who wish to work from home will have other roles to play, including preparing lesson plans, schemes of work and marking. Macharia also said the commission is working with the World Bank and other partners to train teachers on psycho-social support.
