Why TSC is refusing to promote a section of teachers
Cecilia Mutua the Central Regional Teacher Service Commission Quality and Standards officer has said that the commission will only promote teachers who are the residents of counties within the Central Region in the fourth coming promotion exercise of teachers.
She said that some teachers who are non-residents apply for promotion but after they are promoted they request for transfers to their residential homes.
Mutua said the promotion guidelinesguidelines will be very strict to ensure that only resident teachers are promoted to avoid the burden of looking for replacement of teachers who are non-residents who transfer after being promoted.
Mutua added that the commission will use the same guidelines while employing Junior Secondary School and Primary School teachers saying only local registered teachers will be prioritised compared to non- residents.
Mutua encouraged registered teachers who are from within the region to applyapply for the vacancies which have been advertised.
She also noted that the commission has deployed adequate number of secondary school heads and primary school heads to enhance the smooth running of the institutions to achieve quality education.
Mutua who was speaking during Nyandarua County Education Day held at Kinango Secondary School said the Teacher Service Commission will continue lowering the rate of understaffing in the education institutions in the Central Region.
Central Region is made up of 4 Counties which include Kiambu, Muranga, Kirinyaga, and Nyandarua.
She asked all teachers and Principals to exploit the potential of learners to ensure that they excel in both academic and co-curricular activities.
Madam Cecilia used the opportunity to encourage all county bosses within Central Region to ensure all Early Childhood and Development Education Teachers are registered by Teacher Service Commission before they are absorbed by the County Governments to maintain high standards of the teaching profession.
