TSC Issues Additional Teacher Transfer Letters
TSC Issues Additional Teacher Transfer Letters. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has included more transfer letters for delocalized teachers who had submitted delocalization petitions as of November of last year.
The Commission took action and authorized transfers for teachers, even those whose status was indicated as “pending.”
There are now several transfer letters in the TSC County offices. All delocalized instructors who submitted transfer applications must be rerouted, it is demanded by the Commission.
TSC representatives advised delocalized teachers to inquire with their TSC County Directors offices to determine if their transfer letters were still available.
Teachers must also routinely check their online transfer status. When a candidate is chosen, their status will change from “pending” to “acknowledged,” then “approved.”
As of two weeks ago, the Commission had distributed transfer letters to teachers whose status had been acknowledged online.
TSC Regional Directors handled the majority of transfer requests for localized teachers.

Many instructors reported receiving the transfer letters that they picked up from the appropriate TSC County offices throughout many counties.
TSC had previously stated that it will grant transfer requests for 21,544 delocalized teachers before the start of the next academic year.
Early in May, the Commission intended to publish the letters and grant the requests for intra- and interregional transfers.

Most teachers who requested transfers outside of their regions during the most recent transfer approvals were not taken into account.
Pressure is mounting on the Commission to send delocalized teachers home. TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia said before the Senate that procedures have been put in place to make it simple to transfer the instructors back to their home regions.
Initially, transfers were based on job openings at the station, the requirement for a replacement, current staffing standards, and physician-approved medical explanations.
However, Macharia told the Senate Committee on Education that the movement of teachers from one school to another is motivated by the need for an equitable distribution and efficient utilization of teachers.
This week, it was found that Nairobi City County is the region where instructors seeking transfers are most interested in moving to.
In a document submitted to the Senate Committee on Education between November 1 of last year and January 31, 36,277 instructors requested transfers, according to TSC.
14,733 of the teachers were matched and approved, while 21,544 are still pending, according to TSC.
