TSC Promotions 2022-2023; Will TSC use TPD to promote Teachers?
Having declared a total of 1,025 promotional vacancies for teachers seeking headship positions both in primary and secondary schools in Kenya, all eyes are now trained on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to see whether it will review TSC Promotions Guidelines 2022-2023 to incorporate the newly introduced Teacher Professional Development, TPD modules which most teachers have shunned. The buck now stops with the teachers’ employer, TSC, to determine the best selection criteria to use to promote teachers this year. However, TSC may not demand evidence of TPD compliance during TSC promotions interviews 2022-2023 since the Commission is yet to pay for the TPD modules as suggested by members of parliament.
