The Teacher Service Commission, TSC, has kicked off the process of deploying 1000 primary school teachers to secondary schools across the country.The teachers being promoted are those holding a Bachelors Degree or Diploma in Education.

Already, a total of 2,000 p1 graduate teachers were promoted to teach in secondary schools in the past two years.

TSC had advertised 1000 employment posts in 2019 and another 1000 in September last year and has finished issuing deployment letters for the successful applicants.

The promoted PTE graduate teachers start at job Grade C2 at a salary of 34,955 shillings per month and will move to job grade C2 upon completion of three years according to Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) for teachers

“Successful candidates under this category will be appointed at T-scale 7, grade C2 as per the career Progression Guidelines for teachers and shall be deployed to secondary schools where vacancies will be available,” said TSC.

In July 2021 TSC advertised for another 1,000 deployment vacancies for practicing primary school teachers to apply.

At least 6,347 primary school teachers have a degree with C+ at KCSE and C+ in the two teaching subjects as at July 2020 hence qualify to teach in current secondary schools.

There have been calls for TSC to increase the number of teachers it deploys every year as well as make public the number it deploys in each county after complaints from a section of teachers that their counties are sidelined by only getting few slots during the exercise.

TSC says that all vacancies are filled competitively to promote national values, fairness, non-discrimination, and equity.
