A teacher registered under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya can be deregistered for various reasons, including:
- Professional Misconduct: This includes issues like absenteeism, insubordination, improper relationships with students, or any behavior that is deemed unprofessional by the TSC.
- Criminal Convictions: If a teacher is convicted of a criminal offense, especially those involving moral turpitude or those that compromise the safety and welfare of students, they can be deregistered.
- Negligence: Failing to perform duties, including neglecting the teaching responsibilities or not adhering to the curriculum and educational standards set by the TSC.
- Incompetence: Demonstrating a lack of the necessary skills or knowledge to perform teaching duties effectively over time.
- Gross Misconduct: Engaging in severe unethical behavior, such as sexual harassment, corruption, or involvement in activities that are in direct conflict with the values and expectations of the TSC.
- Providing False Information: If a teacher provided false or misleading information during the registration process, or any subsequent professional evaluation, they can be deregistered.
- Failure to Adhere to TSC Regulations: Not following the rules and regulations set by the TSC, such as failing to renew a teaching license or not undergoing required professional development.
- Mental or Physical Incapacity: If a teacher is deemed to be mentally or physically incapable of performing their duties, especially after a formal medical evaluation.
- Engaging in Activities Detrimental to Education: Participating in activities that undermine the education system or the integrity of the teaching profession, such as inciting students to participate in unlawful activities.
The deregistration process typically involves investigations, hearings, and the opportunity for the teacher to respond to the allegations before a final decision is made.
