C3 Teachers Slated for Promotions In The Next Promotion Interviews
Teachers Service Commission (TSC) promotion program is a subject of demand among teachers who have stagnated in one job grade for long.
Thousand of teachers in C3 have lamented remaining in the same job groups for several years without promotion.
Following teacher promotion concerns, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has tabled a number of demands to be addressed by TSC.

Akello Misori, secretary general of KUPPET, has emphasized that these instructors must receive automatic promotions in the future promotions.
The secretary general expressed his displeasure with these instructors’ promotions.
Although these teachers have been attending promotions, he confirmed that they have never received a promotion despite their adherence to the career development guidelines (CPG).

He clarified further, saying that a number of these teachers had attempted two or three unsuccessful interviews.
Teachers in job group C3, formerly known as job group L, are included on the list of teachers KUPPET wants to receive automatic promotions.
While they were on a five-day retreat in Naivasha, the secretary general of KUPPET expressed these thoughts. The technical crew and TSC representatives were with them.
TSC requested that this meeting be held. This came in response to several queries from KUPPET about the promotion list that was made public during the previous year’s promotion process.
Many doubts were raised about the promotion list about the exclusion of some deserving tutors from promotions.

During her speech, Misori openly questioned the promotion list in which after TSC close examination it was discovered that 14 of the promoted teachers were deceased.
Misori went on to say that many curriculum support officers who are technically not teachers had been elevated on the promotion list.
Several TSC secretariat employees who benefited from the promotions are also listed. Even though the promotions were only intended for teachers, this still occurs.
A list of one thousand teachers who had remained in the same work group for more than ten years was presented by the union.
The union requested that these instructors receive promotions with immediate effect.
In the meeting, the union argued for abolition of CPG and fair advancement of all teachers.
