    Why is the category of primary teacher 1 left out during the promotions and yet most of these teachers have been in this job group for too long.

  2. Roseline Atieno

    C1 teachers who had C and therefore can not get chance in JSS should be promoted because they spent what they ought to have used in development to pay fee because these was a government ‘s initiative and for suy those who were Lucky to be promoted are very far.Majority of these teachers are moving home empty handed.
