No, TSC is not demoting non-graduate headteachers

False

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has clarified that it hasn’t initiated the process of demoting non-graduate headteachers, contrary to recent reports. No decisions have been made regarding their demotion.

In July 2023, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) declined the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) proposal to demote non-graduate primary school headteachers. KNUT deemed the proposal unfair labor practice and urged the commission to grant non-graduate primary school headteachers more time to finish their degrees.
