TSC Boss Nancy Macharia has reminded teachers to file their 2019 individual tax returns ahead of the June 30th deadline.
TSC Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nancy Macharia. The Commission has automated most of its functions and services.

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, will now conduct Promotions and transfer of teachers. This is after the Commission launched a new E-platform for teachers. Consequently, effective March 1, 2021 there will be no manual applications for promotions, transfers and recruitment of teachers in the Country.

Via a circular by TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia and which is dated February 15, the Commission directs teachers to activate their emails by April 30th this year.

“The exercise of activating the emails takes effect from February 15 and will close on April 30. Upon the expiry of the registration window, all emails outside the e-platform shall not be acted upon,” the circular reads in part.

How the new TSC E-platform will assist teachers

The new platform will be used by all teachers employed by the Commission; including those on Internship. According to TSC, the new e-platform will be used for official emails, virtual meetings and remote learning. This will see official letters, Circulars, Pay-slips and responses to teachers’ inquiries among others done online.

These latest developments come at a time when TSC has completed digitizing teachers’ files at the head quarter offices in Upper Hill, Nairobi.

Teachers seeking transfers will now file their applications online as opposed to the manual application process.

The official email will take the format of the teacher’s name, the last two digits of the TSC number @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke.
