Following the recent turmoil at St. Gabriel Isongo High School, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has taken swift action by deploying 17 new teachers to the institution.
This decision was prompted by the removal of the previous teaching staff last week, following a disturbance instigated by parents who reportedly confronted and ousted the school’s principal.
Joseph Mukele, the Director of TSC in the Western Region, explained that the deployment of ten male and seven female teachers was necessary in light of the expulsion of their predecessors.
The upheaval stemmed from an incident where the school’s principal, David Wafula, and the head of the Department of Studies were forcibly removed by angry parents.
Paul Lang’at, the Deputy Commissioner for Mumias East who chairs the committee responsible for evaluating the school’s performance, outlined several measures to ensure the smooth operation of the institution.
Lang’at underscored the commitment to the safety of the newly deployed teachers and revealed that four individuals involved in the assault on the head teacher had already been apprehended.
Joseph Wabuyabo, the school’s board chairman, expressed solidarity with the incoming teaching staff. He affirmed the board’s dedication to collaborating with the new teachers to create a conducive learning environment, condemning the recent incident and pledging to uphold high educational standards.
