Speaking during the launch of the 2014
basic Educational Statistical Booklet at KICC on Tuesday, Education Cabinet Secretary advised the Teachers Service Commission to appeal a court order
stopping recruitment of teachers.
He said that an employer should not stop be stopped from hiring other employees.
Kaimenyi said that the move to hire new
teachers was a noble idea that was aimed at restoring learning.
On Friday, a court suspended the
recruitment of 70,000 teachers until a case filed by the Trade Union Congress
of Kenya is heard.
TSC had said it would hire 50,000 primary
teachers, and 20,000 teachers for secondary schools. 10,000 teachers had
already been hired and posted to schools.
The teachers were to be employed on a three-month contractual basis.
TSC started hiring new teachers following
the five-week long teachers' strike that was called off on Saturday by KNUT secretary
general Wilson Sossion.
