TSC Permanently Deregisters 15 Kenyan Teachers After Disciplinary Process {See List}

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has removed fifteen, 15, teachers from the official register after disciplinary hearings found them guilty of professional misconduct.

In a Gazette Notice dated September 19, 2025, the commission announced that the affected teachers are permanently barred from teaching in Kenya unless reinstated by the TSC.

The deregistration means the teachers are no longer recognized as professionals under the Teachers Service Commission Act.

“The persons named herein have been removed from the Register of Teachers pursuant to the provision of section 30 (2) of the Teachers Service Commission Act,” the notice read in part.

The notice, signed by Acting TSC Secretary and CEO E.J. Mitei, further warned that employing unregistered teachers is an offense under the TSC Act.

Barred from Teaching

Any school or individual found guilty of engaging in such activities risks a fine of not less than Ksh 100,000 or imprisonment of up to two years.

 

The commission stated that deregistered teachers cannot practice again unless the TSC itself reinstates them, a rare occurrence reserved for exceptional cases.

“With effect from the date of publication of this notice, the persons listed herein cease to be teachers for purposes of the Act, and are not authorized to engage in the teaching service.”

Teachers Missing Details in Upgrade Programme

This comes after TSC had flagged anomalies in the data of 2,000 teachers whose details were submitted for the proposed upgrade programme, raising fresh concerns over record accuracy and eligibility.

 

In an internal memo dated September 18, 2025, TSC Director of Teacher Professional Management Dr. Mugwuku Nthamburi said the affected teachers’ details did not appear in the commission’s system, pointing to “anomalies in transferring teacher details into soft records.”

The memo, addressed to all TSC regional and county directors, further noted that some teachers’ qualifications differed from what appears in the commission’s records.

“The Commission has been processing the data submitted. From the data, it has been noted that information on 2,000 teachers did not appear in our records. This implies there were anomalies in transferring teacher details,” the memo reads in part.
