A number of mandatory documents are required to be attached as evidence to your TPAD 2 online form. Remember, it is important that you must attach a number of documents for each of the targets.
Remember, as much as these evidences are optional, it is advisable that you attach documentary evidence to back up your scores. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) places a lot of emphasis on the Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) in promoting teachers.
