Macharia however insists that all primary school teachers will be employed despite what they hold.
In July this year, the Teachers Service Commission rendered primary school teachers certificates outdated.
Macharia argued that primary teachers who hold certificates are less productive as compared to those ones with diplomas.
This brought uncertainty among primary school teacher certificate holders because the program is expensive.
TSC however heard their cries and reversed the trend. In spite of that, the primary school teachers are however Urged to register and upgrade for their own benefit.
