The Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia has reportedly revealed that 29 teachers been sent home over misconduct including engaging in sexual relations with students
The government warned earlier it was going to take stern action against rogue teachers, especially those having sexual relationships with students, in the wake of increased teenage pregnancies among school going girls.
Last year the Teachers Service Commission deregistered 32 tutors for engaging in sexual relations with pupils.
Dr Macharia described the sacked teachers as pests and asked other State agencies to investigate and prosecute them.
“In October, TSC dismissed 32 teachers for engaging in sexual relations with pupils. They were degazetted and their names published,” she said, adding that their names could be found in the commission’s website.
“These are pests and we cannot allow pests in our schools. We appeal to State investigative agencies to take up the criminal aspects of this matter and prosecute them,” she said.
