Franciscan brother and teacher, Peter Mokaya Tabichi, has been among the thirty-one teachers who have received recognition on World Teachers Day.

Tabichi was the 2019 winner of the Global Teacher Award and the United Nations in Kenya Person of the Year Award.

Teachers from across the country have been awarded for their exemplary performance by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

According to the TSC CEO Nancy Macharia, the teachers were selected after a rigorous process and in conformity to the TSC Performance Recognition, Reward and Sanction Policy Framework.

“I wish to state that the process of identifying the teachers to be rewarded today has been done in strict conformity to the TSC Performance Recognition, Reward and Sanction Policy Framework. All the 31 teachers will be feted based on the rewards system outlined in this TSC policy, which stresses on meritocracy and detailed due diligence in recognizing staff,” Macharia said.

Macharia also said the thirty-one teachers’ fete will be based on the reward system outlined in TSC policy that emphasizes meritocracy and due diligence in staff recognition.

She said the teachers that have earned the recognition are not the only remarkable ones and the number is just a fraction of a bigger number.

She reiterated TSC will continue to find more ways for all teachers to feel appreciated for their work.

“I wish to state that we are not in any way suggesting that the 31 teachers are the only remarkable teachers we have in the practice. In fact, this number is just the tip of the iceberg. And we, at the TSC, will keep finding more ways to ensure all our teachers feel recognised and appreciated for their work,” Macharia said.

Other notable mentions include the winner of the African Union Continental Teacher of the Year 2019 Eric Ademba and the African Union Continental Teacher of the Year 2020 Jane Kimiti.
