The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) continues to issue show cause letters to the heads of several institutions that failed to update the Teacher Management Information System (TMIS)
The principal must give a satisfactory reason why and when the TMIS details are still awaited.
According to the commission, school administrators must update TMIS data every academic term by ensuring that teacher records and student records are updated.However, a number of principals did not update their TMIS records, prompting the TSC to issue show-cause letters demanding reasons for their withdrawal.
The Board has compiled a list containing the details of teachers who are not captured in TMIS.
The list includes the teacher’s name, ID number, age, gender, county, district, school TSC code, and school name.
So far, some school authorities have done so by updating TMIS details and including the missing teachers in the online portal.TSC uses daily TMIS data to manage teacher issues. Also, through TMIS registration, the Council can provide some SMS services to teachers.
Through TMIS, the commission can know details of school enrollment and such information is especially useful when planning teacher transfers and staff balance.
Teachers can also add to the Teacher Performance Appraisal System (TPAD) through the TMIS portal and TPAD details are sent from school to school through the system.
TSC also uses TMIS to track the number of school teachers who have gone for further training.
