Retiring teachers to be given a three-year contract.
To help with teacher shortages in arid and semi-arid areas, TSC has increased the teachers’ retirement age by three years. This policy modification specifically affects instructors who labor in hot/dry climates, especially in places like Garissa, Mandera, and Wajir districts.
Teachers in the aforementioned districts are now permitted to work an extra three years past the legal retirement age. Retired teachers in these areas have received contract letters inviting them to come back and help fill the teacher shortfall.
Many educators who were previously compelled to leave the classroom after reaching retirement age have praised this choice. There aren’t enough teachers wanting to work in these areas because they frequently have difficult working conditions.
The goal of this policy reform is to enlarge the pool of knowledgeable educators who are able to work in various fields. Similarly, it offers insightful advice and knowledge to students who depend on their knowledge.

As part of this strategy, TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia gave retiring teachers in the Northeast region precedence. A teacher shortage situation has resulted from the dearth of non-local educators in certain places, especially for educators who frequently visit these areas.
The effectiveness of the education provided to pupils in these arid and semi-arid areas is anticipated to improve thanks to the new approach, which will guarantee that every child has access to qualified teachers. Now, educators in these places will have the option of working for three more years before retiring.
