When TSC advertised for replacements, this particular county did NOT get any slot for primary schools.
Prof. Lonyangapuo told the Senate last week that the teachers shortage in West Pokot is 2,023 in primary schools and 532 in secondary schools.
Prof. Lonyangapuo said, "... Schools in West Pokot County have a shortage of 2,023 teachers in primary schools, which translates to a shortage of 46 per cent of the required number and 532 teachers in secondary schools, translating into a shortage of 48 per cent of the required number."
The senator further told the senate, "The children of West Pokot County are being denied their right to education contrary to Article 53(1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya."
Senator Karaba, the senate Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Education, will give a response next week on the aforementioned shortage.
