The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has given teachers an indefinite leave following the closure of all learning institutions countrywide. On Monday Monday, the Education Cs directed that all learners to stay at home after more cases of Corona Virus were reported in the Country. On Sunday, the president directed that all schools, colleges and universities be closed to prevent further spread of the pandemic.

“You are directed to remain at home during this period of corona virus epidemic,” reads a Circular from one of the TSC’s field officers.

“During the period you are NOT supposed to visit TSC Headquarters, TSC County Office or TSC Sub-County Offices unless the matter that takes you to those offices is of emergency in nature,” adds Nkoroi J.M who is the TSC County Director in Nakuru County.

Already, most schools have released learners to their homes until further notice.

 “Teachers should spearhead a leading role in sensitizing parents on preventive
measures of COVID – 19,” says the Commission’s Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia through a circular dated Monday March 16, 2020.

According to Dr. Macharia, the Commission will be offering limited services. However, we have dedicated hotlines through which critical services will be offered. Safaricom- 0722208552, Telkom:0777208552, Email:[email protected].

Uncertainty continues to rock the whole world as countries grapple with best ways to curb the spread of the virus.

On Monday, the Education CS provided guidelines on how the learners would be handled between their schools and homes so as to protect them from contracting the virus. The government was forced to take the drastic action to prevent them from any possible exposure to the virus while at school.

The Commission has also suspended all interview sessions for teachers seeking promotions.

The Government has banned all public gatherings in a bid to put the deadly virus at bay.
