TSC Urged to Review Teachers’ Medical Scheme
Review the medical plan for teachers. Through its leaders, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Teachers has encouraged the national government to take the review of the teachers’ medical programme into consideration.
The Kuppet Bungoma branch chairperson David Barasa stated that managing two medical schemes had become a strain for educators while speaking from Bungoma county.
The chairperson mentioned that educators now have subscriptions to two medical plans while he was being interviewed by education news.

He claimed that a Kenyan teacher is currently covered by medical plans. He also emphasised the union’s displeasure with the way the government treats educators.
Barasa added that all the teachers are going through is a direct outcome of the topics that are debated in parliament. He consequently pleaded with the lawmakers to consider the concept of revisiting the medical programme. As a result, this will bring comfort to the nation’s suffering teachers.
Kenyan citizens are currently burdened with heavy taxes. The Kuppet chairperson has pleaded with the Kenyan government to take into account increasing the monthly salary of teachers. This will enable them to survive the challenging economic times facing the nation.
At the moment, educators have enrolled themselves with the AON network. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has a deal with this insurance provider to offer medical care to teachers.
