List Of 1000 Stagnated TSC Teachers Identified For Promotions. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been asked to promote more than 1,000 teachers who have been in the same job group for more than ten years. This is according to a demand made by the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet).
Kuppet Secretary General Akelo Misori believes that these teachers ought to be promoted right away.
Even though several of them had participated in multiple TSC interviews for promotions based on the Career Progression Guidelines (CPG), Akelo observed that they had never been given any thought.
He went on to say that although the majority of them had attended more than two or three interviews for promotions, they had been excluded for years.
Among these teachers are those who were converted from the former job group M into C5 and others from job group L into C3
Misori made these remarks at a five-day retreat with TSC officials in Naivasha, where they were attending the Kuppet National Executive Board full meeting alongside their technical staff.

After Kuppet raised concerns about the list of promotions for roughly 51,000 teachers between May 2024 and the newly disclosed list in March 2024, the teachers’ employer TSC called for this consultative meeting.
Speaking at the meeting, Misori criticized the newly made public list that showed more than 14 instructors had retired or passed away from the TSC promotion list.
Misori also brought attention to the fact that a number of Curriculum Support Officers on the promotion list are not now employed as teachers.
According to Misori, the list also included TSC Secretariat employees who are not instructors but who, while not being on the teaching staff, had unfairly benefited from promotions intended only for professors.
The union demanded their promotion with immediate effect and presented the TSC with a list of around 1,000 teachers who had not received a single promotion in over a decade. The list has been made public in the TSC website.
The union also requested during this discussion that CPGs be revised or eliminated because they haven’t addressed the issues that teachers are facing at a standstill.
