The Public Service Commission has promoted 3,353 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) trainers in the last 4 weeks.
PSC chairman Amb Anthony Muchiri noted that some TVET trainers have stagnated in the same job groups for more than 20 years and that the promotion is aimed at motivating them.
Amb Muchiri was speaking during his official closing of the 2021/2022 values and principles assessment report to the TVETs service sector through a webinar.
According to the report, the compliance level of TVET institutions reached 41.7%.
The rollout, which began on February 28 and ended on March 3, 2023, targeted MDAs, public universities, constitutional commissions and TVET.
“We have noticed that you (TVET trainers) have been treated unfairly and have embarked on a process to ensure that you are motivated and able to hold your heads high,” the PSC chairman said.
However, Amb Muchiri expressed dissatisfaction with the low level of compliance with public service value and principles in the TVET service sector.
“It is worth noting that the level of adherence to values and principles in TVET improved by 1.7% to 41.7% compared to the previous year; this is still below average and is unacceptable,” said Amb Muchiri.
He also noted that the Commission will seek to identify the causes of low compliance with public service value and principles in TVETS and implement appropriate intervention measures.
“The commission will not hesitate to take strong action against non-compliance in public institutions as required by law,” he said.
The webinar was attended by the Deputy Secretary of the Commission, Remmy Mulati, the PSC Values technical team led by the Director of Compliance and Quality Assurance (CQA), Simon Wachinga, the Director of Human Resources for TVETs at the Ministry of Education Elicanah Mosiori, principals, registrars and officers from TVETs.
