The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has issued a directive warning teachers against unprofessional conduct on social media, sparking a debate among stakeholders.

• The TSC is concerned about cyberbullying, harassment, offensive content, and other online misconduct by teachers.
• The directive has divided opinion, with some teachers viewing it as an infringement on their private lives, while heads of teachers' associations support it as a necessary measure.
• Fuad Ali, chairperson of the Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association (KEPSHA), stressed the need for teachers to balance freedom of expression with professional responsibilities.
