TSC Highlights its Major Successes for the Past Five Years
TSC Highlights its Major Successes for the Past Five Years. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has provided an extensive assessment of the Commission’s accomplishments in light of the last five years of the 2019-23 Strategic Plan.
Over the past five years, TSC has prioritized reforms, innovative ways to deliver educational services, and re-engineering service delivery.
Its execution was monitored and evaluated using a number of techniques, including as performance contracting assessments, compliance audits, mid-term and end-term reviews.
35,000 more teachers have been hired over the past five years to guarantee that students move from primary to secondary schools smoothly.
The accomplishment was made feasible by the established policy and guiding principles for teacher internships.
The committee offered internship standards and oversaw the hiring of 54,300 intern instructors.
In the coming five years, according to TSC CEO Nancy Macharia, the commission plans to hire 111,870 more teachers for permanent, pensionable posts.
She asserted that a severe teacher shortage was caused by an increase in the general population, an increase in the number of basic education schools, and limited funding.
The Commission was also tasked with developing the criteria for admittance to teaching services.
All principals, professors in teacher preparation programs, and deans from 60 out of 90 universities, per the survey, received training on the legal and policy foundation for teaching standards.

To further formalize the induction, mentoring, and coaching program, TSC developed the Teacher Induction, Mentorship, and Coaching (TIMEC) Policy.
The Commission reports that for 1,712 field officers, 28,741 BOMs, and 38,354 administrators, controlling teachers’ classroom behavior has grown in importance.
The Commission retrained 229,000 primary school teachers and 55,125 middle and high school teachers in order to fully administer the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
According to the research, 82% of all the teachers that the Commission employed had been “retooled” for the new curriculum.
Additionally, the Commission has made 163,938 instructors aware of remote learning, which it has offered as a cutting-edge technique for various ways to implement curriculum.
