The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will promote 36,505 primary and post-primary teachers as part of efforts to boost morale and productivity. This is according to the latest news from the Commission.

TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia said the exercise targets teachers from job grades C2 to D5. The TSC concluded interviews for primary school teachers in December last year, while for post-primary teachers were concluded in January 2024.

Dr Macharia says that 17,914 slots are for primary school teachers while those teaching in post-primary schools will fill 18,591 vacancies.

“The Commission promises to conduct an efficient and fair exercise that will ensure meritocracy in the promotions,” she says.

This is in addition to the 14,000 teachers promoted after vacancies emerged due to natural attrition. The Commission also sought to enhance administrative capacities within educational institutions.

Dr Macharia adds that 198 vacant positions at the level of principal have arisen this year because of teacher exits due to natural attrition, establishment of new schools and other personal reasons including medical grounds. Therefore, the TSC will fill the positions in various schools across the country to ensure learning is not disrupted.

She urges the principals to oversee smooth running of school programmes, including Co-curricular activities.

The Commission is finalizing the release of the promotion letters after verification of interview results is completed.
