Noteworthy inclusions involve immoral behavior with learners, such as sexual intercourse, sodomy, and sexual harassment. Professional misconduct, including negligence of duty, chronic lateness, and insubordination, is also addressed.
The list further extends to infamous conduct, prohibiting behaviors like drunkenness, fighting, and cyber bullying.
The TSC emphasizes its commitment to eradicating corruption by addressing mismanagement, misappropriation, and embezzlement of public funds. Violations of procurement regulations, engaging in fraudulent activities, and giving false information to the Commission are strictly prohibited.
The updated regulations also target actions that may compromise the integrity of the education system, such as engaging learners in household chores, charging unauthorized fees, and exposing them to illicit drugs.
The TSC is resolute in ensuring the integrity of national examinations by penalizing acts leading to examination irregularities and falsifying school enrollment data.
Furthermore, the introduction of guidelines against engaging in gainful employment while employed by the Commission underscores the commitment to full-time dedication to teaching.
These measures, set to take effect immediately, mark a proactive approach by the TSC to maintain the highest ethical standards within the teaching profession.
As teachers face potential transfers and increased scrutiny, the TSC’s move is expected to contribute to a more accountable and responsible teaching service in Kenya.
In conclusion, the TSC’s updated disciplinary offences aim to fortify the teaching service, ensuring a conducive and ethical learning environment for students across the country.
