TSC New Conditions For Appointment As School Administrator
Before being handed managerial duties in their schools, teachers will now need to act.
This was said in a report that was authored and published this month by Nancy Macharia, the CEO of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The Commission is considering requiring teachers to act before they may hold administrative positions.
This implies that, once hired, the teacher’s acting abilities will be considered more valuable than any other credentials when applying for a job or attending a promotion interview.
However, before being taken into consideration, teachers must work for at least three years. Additionally, teachers will need to be ready for the work that they are undertaking.
Affirmative action will still be used to promote teachers in ASAL and places with a shortage of qualified candidates.

The TSC stated in circular number 14/2021 that raises for teachers should be in accordance with the existing Career Progression Guidelines (CPG).
The Commission also recommended that administrators who temporarily fill administrative jobs in ASAL and other areas with a staffing shortage be promoted until their grades are commensurate with their positions.
TSC New Conditions For Appointment As School Administrator
The TSC does not confirm instructors who have held acting administrative positions for a considerable amount of time, according to the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education instructors (Kuppet).
According to Mr. Omboko Milemba, the national chairman of the Kuppet, promotions for classroom teachers are difficult to come by unless they have administration positions.
According to him, acting professors owe Sh1 billion, which will end their careers.
According to Milemba, this is comparable to delivering invoices for completed but unpaid services. He further stated that a research is being conducted by the union to determine the amount owing to these professors.
This bill is currently being worked on but hasn’t been priced. This is an illustration of how the TSC and the government are abusing the labour of others. I’ve posed a question in Parliament, but my office staff and I are conducting research to support the figures. Unless you work in administration, it has become impossible to advance, according to Mr. Milemba, who is also the MP for the Emuhaya region. He claimed that C3 and C4 teachers are suffering the most.
Nabii Nabwera, a Lugari MP, expressed concern in December of last year after learning that TSC had not promoted the majority of acting teachers, who were assistant headteachers.
Teachers who have playing responsibilities would be given preference for promotions this year, stated TSC board chair Jamleck Muturi and head of legal Calvin Anyuor in front of Parliament.
They claimed to have put a lot of effort into ensuring that the deputy headteachers who have been serving as headteachers would receive promotions first.
According to the two, some lawmakers were not promoted because they did not fulfil the standards for advancing to the next position.
The teachers will always come first, we promise. However, it cannot just happen since schools were classified into national, extra-county, and sub-county categories and awarded ratings after the job evaluation standards were established. Anyuor stated, “These grades must be achieved.
