Here are the 3,469 promotion vacancies re-advertised by TSC with no Masters degree requirement: Updated

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.

The re-advertised promotions are:

1. 369 positions for Principals in job group D3.
2. 451 positions for Headteachers in Job group C5.
3. 2,634 positions for Deputy headteachers in job group C4.
4. 185 Positions of secondary school Teacher I and II, senior masters, deputy principals, primary teacher I, senior teachers, deputy headteachers and headteachers
5. Secondary school Teacher I in grade C3.
