BY DAILY NATION: TSC Teachers Transfer: Talks between teachers and their employer hit a stalemate Wednesday after the Teachers Service Commission rejected a demand to revoke the transfers of 85 head teachers holding union positions.

The head teachers, who are members of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut), were transferred outside their counties this year.

TSC also rejected a demand to have such head teachers exempted from future transfers, a move that saw deliberations on the issue pushed to another date.

This means that Knut will have to seek another meeting with TSC in order to discuss the issue of transfers but other matters will still be discussed in the remaining two days. The demands were made by Knut during the five-day talks on various issues affecting teachers which started on Monday in Naivasha and which end tomorrow.

TSC will Thursday hold make-or-break talks on promotion of more than 30,000 teachers who have attained higher academic qualifications after the parties failed to agree yesterday.

This is after it emerged that data from TSC indicates that only 400 teachers qualify for promotion while the rest have questionable academic qualifications.

Knut wants the teachers promoted based on academic qualifications but TSC insists this must be based on performance and availability of vacancies.
