The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has finalized the interview results for teachers who attended interview for promotions conducted in December 2023 and January 2024. The interviews were carried out between December 2023 and January 2024 at designated TSC County offices countrywide.

A total of 150,000 teachers who were shortlisted and interviewed have been promoted to fill the 36,000 available vacancies. The Commission has appointed 1,341 successful applicants to the Deputy Principal I grade and another 1,096 to the Deputy Principals II grade.

Equally, 6,680 lucky teachers in grade C3 (Formerly L) have been promoted to grade C4 (Senior Master IV) which is the entry grade to the administrative positions in Post Primary Learning Institutions.

According to data released earlier by TSC, Kiambu County recorded the highest number of applicants at 1,717. Kisii came in second with 1,673 applicants while Kakamega had 1,488 applicants.

Surprisingly, ten counties had no applicants who made it to the final list of shortlisted candidates. The Counties are: Kilifi, Lamu, Laikipia, Marsabet, Meru, Mombasa, Garissa, Mandera, Nairobi and Uasin Gishu.

During the interviews, the Commission was criticized for using a marking scheme that favoured teachers in well performing schools.

For instance, teachers with a low mean score in the last three years then they were poorly rated during the interviews. The maximum mark for a teacher with a mean of 11 (A- minus) and above was set at 20. Whereas a teacher with a mean of below 2 (D- minus) was awarded one mark only.

Another scoring area used was the improvement index; with teachers who had recorded a positive improvement of 2 and above garnering 20 marks.

Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) rating was also given weight same as a teacher’s professional development.

A salary increment and redeployment awaits teachers who will be make it to the final promotion list.

In generating the final promotion list, the Commission will consider the following:

(a) merit and ability as reflected in the teacher’s work, performance and results;
(b) seniority and experience as set out in the scheme of service; and
(c) academic and professional qualification of the teacher.
