2024 TSC Promotion results and letters for over 36,000 teachers out

by

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced the promotion results for about 36,000 teachers. TSC says it has promoted 36,000 teachers following successful interviews conducted in December 2023 and January 2024.

Teachers have been waiting patiently for the promotions which come with increased salaries. About promotion letters, the Commission says they will be dispatched to Counties where teachers will pick them as schools reopen for third term.

“Letters on the outcome of the interviews are in the process of being sent to all teachers who were interviewed.” Says Dr. Nancy Macharia (the TSC Chief Executive Officer).

Successful teachers will receive SMS notifications on when to collect their letters.

“The Commission will communicate to all teachers who were interviewed through the existing official communication channels.” Adds Dr. Macharia.

Those promoted will be substantively appointed to fill the various administrative vacancies in many schools.
