It is a sigh of relief for teachers seeking promotions after the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, decided to re-advertise 3,469 vacancies. In the new advert TSC has dropped the Master’s degree requirement that had barred many teachers from applying. This comes after spirited opposition from the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET.

TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia said the requirements for promotion had been easened to allow teachers time to acquire the qualifications.

There was outrage among teachers after the Commission initially insisted that teachers holding administrative positions must have a Masters degree.
