TSC New Requirements for School Administrator Appointment
TSC New Requirements for School Administrator Appointment. Teachers will now need to take action before being given managerial responsibilities in their schools.
This was stated in a report that Nancy Macharia, the CEO of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), wrote and released this month.
The Commission is considering making it necessary for teachers to take administrative posts before they can hold them.
This suggests that, once employed, the teacher’s acting skills will be valued more highly than any other qualifications when applying for jobs or attending interviews for promotions.
However, teachers must labor for at least three years before being taken into account. The task that instructors are doing will also require them to be prepared.
Promotion of teachers in ASAL and locations with a shortage of competent candidates will still be done through affirmative action.
In Circular 14/2021, the TSC said that raises for teachers should follow the current Career Progression Guidelines (CPG).
Additionally, the Commission suggested that administrators who temporarily fill administrative posts in ASAL and other sectors where there is a manpower shortage be promoted until their grades are in line with their positions.

According to the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education teachers (Kuppet), the TSC does not confirm teachers who have held acting administrative posts for a sizable period of time.
Promotions for classroom teachers are tough to come by unless they have administration roles, claims Mr. Omboko Milemba, the national chairman of the Kuppet.
He claims that acting academics’ debt of Sh1 billion will put an end to their careers.
Milemba compares this to sending out invoices for rendered but unpaid services. He added that the union is conducting research to ascertain how much is owed to these teachers.
Though it hasn’t yet been priced, this bill is currently under consideration. This serves as an example of how the TSC and the government are misusing other people’s labor. I’ve asked a question in the House of Commons, but my office staff and I are looking into the facts. The MP for the Emuhaya region, Mr. Milemba, claims that it is now impossible to advance unless you work in administration. He asserted that teachers in grades C3 and C4 are the most affected.
When Nabii Nabwera, a Lugari MP, discovered that TSC had not advanced the majority of acting teachers, who were assistant headteachers, she expressed alarm.
According to TSC board chair Jamleck Muturi and head of legal Calvin Anyuor, promotions this year would be given preference to teachers who had playing responsibilities.
They insisted that they worked hard to make sure the deputy headteachers who have been acting as headteachers received promotions first.
The two claim that certain MPs were not promoted because they did not meet the requirements for moving up to the next level.
We guarantee that the teachers will always come first. The classification of schools into national, extra-county, and sub-county categories and the awarding of ratings came after the job assessment standards were established, thus it cannot merely happen. “These grades must be attained,” Anyuor said.
