  1. Ok Tsc is committed to rewarding it’s employees but to some extent I see there is n transparency.I did my undergraduate degree way back and graduated in 2014 but deployment to secondary has become a dream to me.I smell a rat somewhere.I wish TSC looked at people’s past live it would not be leaving some of us out.Imagine educating oneself from secondary, College,Then University only to suffer alot due to bank loan topups!!And I qualify.

    Reply
  2. It’s painful to hear of a colleague being deployed to sec….. A colleague u bit in terms of age,Dates of employment,and ua qualifications are the same!!! Kindly I need to understand the criteria that is followed.With the fee burden I have!!Just be fair pliz pliz.

    Reply
  3. I would be greatful if TSC becomes very fair to those teachers who have committed their salaries in paying for their own education in trying to improve self academic status but only to be looked down upon.

    Reply
  4. there is a day i will earn the best salary as ateacher the only issue is when you earn alot you need alot,so am contented with the nothing am receiving due to loans and other issues

  5. Classroom teachers have been forgotten yet they do the donkeys work.Administrators were well rewarded .The wage gap difference needs to be addressed if we really need to improve on our education system.

    Reply
  6. Every part of kenya life is hard.Commission should think of awarding all teachers hard ship allowance despite of the location.

    Reply
