Primary and secondary schools teachers will be assessed on their method and presentation to respective classes they teach.
This is one way of ensuring that underperforming schools are monitored, assisted and teachers’ performances are assessed as well.
“Education officers who go out to visit schools should not only check the physical infrastructure but check on its teachers because they teach in the classrooms,” the Minister of Education Filipe Bole told his senior staff in their meeting.
“This will assist us identify the causes of underperformance in schools and at the same time assess our teachers on the job.
“Those teachers whose performances are found to have deteriorated after being given three chances to improve may have to give up their teaching career.”
Teachers are therefore cautioned that whatever they write in their workbooks are the exact things they teach the class for that day.
Head teachers and principals are reminded to closely monitor their teachers.
The assessment of teachers will be done randomly therefore any teacher can be assessed at any time.
“No stones should be left unturned as we strive to get all our students who sit external examination to pass with quality marks,” the minister said.
There are three more school weeks before the end of term one.
