TSC News: Good news for Teachers as TSC introduces new Job Groups
TSC News: The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has introduced new job groups in a bid to address stagnation of teachers in same job grades. According to the latest news from the Commission, teachers who may not wish to rise up to administrative grades will have a chance to be promoted. This is after the Commission decided not to peg promotions on the number of available administrative positions. The administrative include Principals, Deputy Principals, Senior Masters, Head Teachers, Deputy Headteachers and Senior Masters.
The introduction of the Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) in 2018 has seen stagnation of teachers as it pegged promotions on available positions.
“We extend our apologies to teachers and the nation for the negative outcomes resulting from the implementation of the Career Progression Guidelines. While introduced with reformative intentions, the CPG framework has inadvertently led to the stagnation of thousands of teachers.” Says a memo from the Teachers’ employer.
The Commission now says the CPG will be reviewed to allow automatic promotions of teachers.
“We have committed to reviewing the guidelines. Specifically, we are eliminating Job Groups C5 and D2 and merging them with adjacent grades. This restructuring will streamline the promotion process and ensure a more equitable career progression system.” The Commission adds.
Introduction of New Job Groups.
Apart from reviewing the CPG, the Commission has also introduced job groups for teachers who do not wish to take up the administrative positions.
“We have introduced new job groups — T1, T2, and T3 — to create a clear path for teachers who do not hold administrative positions but qualify for promotions beyond Job Group C4.
This initiative allows classroom teachers to rise through the professional ranks without being limited to scarce administrative roles. We no longer wish to peg higher job groups exclusively to administrative duties. This change opens up opportunities in the upper cadres for all deserving teachers based on merit and experience.” TSC has announced.
Promotions of teachers has been a thorny issue with the Commission coming under scrutiny over perceived corruption and irregularities. TSC has indeed acknowledged the assertions.
