Due to the increasing retirement age, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has sent out contract letters to instructors who have already retired.
Many teachers, who in the past had to retire at what they considered to be the peak of their careers, applauded the TSC’s decision.
Many instructors have avoided accepting positions at these locations because they are often perceived as having a difficult work environment.

According to the TSC, the policy change is expected to increase the number of experienced educators available to work in these fields, which will certainly benefit students who depend on their advice and knowledge.
General Director of TSC, Dr. Nancy Macharia, has given priority to teachers from the North Eastern region in the recent development of retiring teachers.
This problem is due to the fact that many professors despise these places.
This is especially true for teachers who visit these places.
According to the TSC CEO, there is already a shortage of teachers in certain areas, which is predicted to worsen due to continued retirement.
She noted that retired teachers from these posts were persuaded to work on a temporary contract with TSC in exchange for payment for their services.

These teachers will receive an additional three years of retirement until the official retirement age after this contract expires.
Macharia gave preference to teachers from the north-eastern part of Kenya and spoke openly about the difficulties teachers in the area face.
She noticed that because of the perceived challenges of working there, many teachers were reluctant to serve in these locations.
However, Macharia is adamant that TSC’s decision would advance these areas of education and raise the level of education offered to students.
