TSC Deregisters Seven Teachers, Bans Them from Teaching in All Schools

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has deregistered seven teachers, permanently barring them from teaching in both public and private learning institutions across Kenya.

The move underscores the Commission’s commitment to upholding professionalism, protecting learners, and maintaining public confidence in the teaching profession.

TSC Removes Seven Teachers from the Register

Following the conclusion of disciplinary proceedings, TSC announced that the following teachers have been removed from the official register of teachers:

Teacher| TSC Number

1. Mwandiku Christopher Mutinda| 752098
2. Oloo Felix Ouma| 716232
3. Chardwick Ojwang Wafula| 572981
4. Adede George Ochieng| 506152
5. Menza David Mthawali| 544377
6. Kirui Gilbert Cheruiyot| 981490
7. Atsaya Rodgers Javutumi| 386360

With their names removed from the TSC register, these individuals are no longer legally recognized as teachers in Kenya.

Barred from Teaching in Any School

The Commission has directed that the deregistered teachers must not be employed by any public or private educational institution unless they are formally reinstated by TSC.

Reinstatement after deregistration is rare and is only considered under exceptional circumstances following the Commission’s procedures.

Warning to School Boards and Administrators

TSC has also cautioned school boards, proprietors, and administrators against employing any of the deregistered teachers.

According to the Commission, institutions that knowingly hire teachers whose registration has been revoked risk legal action. Those found in violation may face hefty fines, imprisonment, or both, as provided for under the law.

TSC Reaffirms Commitment to Professional Standards

The Commission maintains that disciplinary action against teachers who violate the Code of Conduct and Ethics is necessary to protect learners and preserve the integrity of the teaching profession.

By enforcing strict professional standards, TSC aims to ensure that Kenyan schools remain safe learning environments where parents and guardians can continue to have confidence in the education system.

TSC Continues Crackdown on Teachers Who Violate Professional Standards

The latest deregistration of seven teachers comes as the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) continues to enforce strict professional and ethical standards within the teaching service. The Commission has intensified disciplinary action against teachers found guilty of misconduct, including presenting forged academic certificates, engaging in examination malpractices, immoral behaviour, absenteeism, and other violations of the Code of Conduct and Ethics.

This follows an earlier TSC action in which the Commission published a list of 61 teachers who were barred from employment after investigations established that they had used forged documents or failed to meet the required professional standards. The move highlights TSC’s commitment to protecting learners, preserving the integrity of the teaching profession, and ensuring that only qualified and ethical teachers are allowed to serve in Kenyan schools.

The seven teachers listed below have now been officially deregistered, meaning their names have been removed from the Register of Teachers. They are no longer legally permitted to teach in any public or private institution in Kenya unless the Commission formally reinstates their registration.
