PREMIUM TSC social media gag on teachers splits opinion Education 5 hours ago Listen

Mr Ali noted that while there is freedom of expression, as civil servants, the teachers need not declare their political stand on social media, describing the TSC directive as a necessary control measure in response to emerging challenges in an increasingly digital environment.

Article A directive by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) warning teachers against unprofessional conduct on social media has divided opinion among stakeholders, with a section of teachers saying that the order amounts to an unjustified intrusion into their private lives.

But Nairobi teacher Jeremiah Rianga questioned why the TSC directive appears to have singled out teachers only, whereas other public servants also use social media but have not received such warnings.
