The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, portal used by teachers to declare their 2019 assets, income and liabilities is posing serious challenges as it is inaccessible; most of the time. The site has been experiencing massive down times even as the deadline for filling the returns draws near. A spot check on the site shows that it is an uphill task using it during the day and even at night; when it is slightly accessible. Even after successfully filing the returns the system does not send a copy of the filled form to the declared Email address. This, thus, leaves teachers in dilemma; not sure whether their returns have been correctly filed.
What to do.
To succeed in filing the returns and avoid the last minute rush it is advisable that ;
You exercise high levels of patience, when filling the form,

SCHOOL’S PHYSICAL LOCATION
Ngara Girls High School is a Girls’ only Secondary School, located near nairobi Town, Starehe Constituency in Nairobi County; in Kenya.
SCHOOL’S BASIC INFO & CONTACTS AT A GLANCE
In need of more information about the school? Worry not. Use any of the contacts below for inquiries and/ or clarifications. Here is a collation of the school’s basic details:
SCHOOL’S NAME: Ngara Girls High School
SCHOOL’S TYPE: Girls’ only Secondary School
SCHOOL’S CATEGORY: Extra County school.
SCHOOL’S LEVEL: Secondary
SCHOOL’S KNEC CODE: 20403004
SCHOOL’S OWNERSHIP STATUS: Public/ Government owned
gara Girls’ High School started as an Asian mixed secondary school during the colonial era in 1957. The first head of the school was Mr. Waller. Five years later, in 1962, the boys were moved to Nairobi South ‘B’ where they started the present day Highway Secondary School. The following year, 1963, which was Kenya’s year of independence, the school, being a girls’ day school, received its first lady headmistress, Mrs. Serah Joseph who served the school for only one year. She was replaced by Mrs. Reina D’Souza in 1964. It was this year when the Ominde Commission abolished the system of education in Kenyan schools based on racial lines. Ngara Girls’ High School was now open to all races. However, the school still remained under the management of Asian heads up to 1987 when Mrs. Ottaro (the first African headmistress of the school) took over from Mrs. Vimala Chaudry, the longest serving head of the school (1968-87)
For a long time, efforts were made to turn the school from a day school to a boarding school. The project took root in 1986 when classrooms that used to be for ‘A’ level tuition were renovated to make dormitories for Form Four girls. This was done after the Kenyan government had adopted the recommendations of the McKay Commission which did away with the 7-4-2-3 Educational System and adopted the present 8-4-4 system. At this time, Mrs. Macharia was the principal of the school. One factor that made it easy to turn Form Fours into boarders was because the previous principal, Mrs. Ottaro had organized for the school canteen to be renovated into a kitchen which was already serving hot lunches for the students.
Under Mrs. Macharia, parents, students and teachers embarked on various activities to raise funds to put up more boarding facilities for the students. This was done through harambee contributions, sale of raffle tickets, walks and even variety shows.
In 1996, the Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF) gave a grant and together with the parents’ contribution and money raised by the students from walks, sale of raffle tickets and variety shows, a new hostel complex was started. The phase one part of the hostel complex had two floors which managed to accommodate 372 girls after completion. These were Form 3 and 4 students. The 348 day scholars continued to waste a lot of time commuting to and from their homes. The matatu menace continued to interfere with their discipline and therefore academic performance. The boarders were also getting a lot of influence from outside through the day scholars. There was therefore one urgent need; to have all the students in the hostel so that we could concentrate on only one agenda which was to uplift the academic standards of the school. This was one of the tasks which Mrs. Josephine Mwandoe who became the new principal of the school in 2000 took in her stride.
Mrs. Mwandoe wasted no time and organized for a harambee which was held on 8th September 2001. The money collected helped to complete the two top floors of the hostel complex and 180 girls were accommodated in it leaving 168 girls out as day scholars. This was not enough. The school community wanted all the girls in the hostel. New challenges also came up for example, the security of the students and frequent blackouts. Therefore, as parents continued digging deeper into their pockets to raise funds to put up a new hostel block, they also had to try and raise funds for the construction of a perimeter wall round the school and for the purchase of a generator.
The new hostel block was constructed and completed in 2004. It accommodated the rest of the students who had been locked out of boarding. Ngara Girls’ High School therefore, became a full boarding school. A stone wall was constructed round the school and Securicor Company (the present day Group 4 Security) was approached to install a security alarm system in the school. The school is now under 24 hour surveillance by the company. To curb the problem of frequent blackouts, parents contributed money and a generator was bought, which goes on automatically whenever there is a blackout.
The school has a clinic which is run by a full time school nurse. This clinic is an important facility in the school because it deals with the health of the students, both mentally and physically. The clinic is fully equipped with adequate drugs and other medical tools.
The school can also boast of a computer laboratory which was opened in May 2007. This is a great inspiration to the students. The ones taking the computer lessons enjoy them very much.
Mrs Munyasya came on board in January 2009 and under her able leadership the school’s infrastructure has been renovated and both the students and staff are enjoying the change that has come. Higher academics standards have started taking root.

Officers from Technical and Vocational and Education Training Authority (TVETA) in together with Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) on January 21, 2020 raided two institutions in the Eastleigh area, Nairobi that has been operating illegally.
During the operation that targeted Atlas College and Alison Community College, more than 50 students, most of them without valid identification documents were arrested.
Atlas College located along 8th street, off 1st avenue in Eastleigh was assessed by TVETA in September 2015 and licensed to offer two courses; Diploma in Business Management and Diploma in Community Development.
However, the college has since opened four more branches within the Eastleigh area and training over 40 courses in ICT, Tailoring, and Dressmaking, and teaching English and Kiswahili, IGSCE, among others, illegally.
During the morning swoop, the TVETA officers and the police found learning was still going on and some of the trainees found in the class were underage while others were foreigners without valid identification documents.
Consequently, a number of trainees were taken for further questioning by ATPU.
FOR A COMPLETE GUIDE TO ALL SCHOOLS IN KENYA CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW;
Two employees who were arrested said the institution had enrolled 69 trainees at the time of the operation. They are expected to be charged with offering training without registration contrary to section 17(1) of the TVET Act 2013. The offense attracts a penalty of one million or five years in prison or both.
Alison Community College that is located in a building adjacent to Atlas College was closed with immediate effect by TVETA for operating and offering training without registration as required by the TVET Act 2013. The institution had enrolled about 50 trainees. The training was also taking place at the time of the operation in tailoring and ICT.
“We’ve closed the college (Alison) until it is registered by law,” Dr. Langat said.
The trainer in charge, Mr. Ali Yussuf, a staffer, claimed the college was registered but he could not produce any documents to back the claim.
Yussuf and some trainees were arrested by ATPU for further questioning as some of them were underage and foreigners who could not produce valid identification documents.
Speaking during a crackdown on illegal colleges, Kipkirui stated the college was also doing business despite it not being registered by the Authority.
“I want to ask Kenyans whenever you are looking for training first confirm the licensing and programmes offered to ensure the certificates are of quality,” he said.
Kipkirui said a similar crackdown will be carried out across the country, in a bid to weed out institutions operating unlawfully.
