TSC Releases Promotion Letters. Despite teacher protests, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has begun the process of distributing teacher promotion letters to counties.
The Commission has verified the list it made available on its website and has now finished releasing a portion of the letters, which, according to a source, have begun to be distributed to the counties.
Promotion letters will only be sent to teachers whose TSC numbers are on the list, according to TSC’s assertion.
TSC posted a 724-page list on its website that only included the TSC numbers of 36,505 individuals who were promoted after conducting interviews in December and January.
The employer of the instructors, however, came under fire from the Kenya National Union of instructors (Knut) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) for failing to provide full details of the teachers who were promoted.
The unions questioned the commission’s decision to exclude the real names from the public TSC numbers in order to facilitate an audit.

The unions said that even deceased teachers might be placed on the merit list if the real names were withheld.
In addition to receiving promotional letters, the 36,505 teachers who passed will need to turn in five Chapter 6 documents.
Below are the five documents that are mandatory inline with Chapter six of the Kenyan Constitution on ‘Leadership and Integrity’.
🍓Valid Certificate of Good Conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) cost 1,050/-
🍓Clearance Certificate from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) cost Free
🍓Tax Compliance Certificate from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) cost Free
🍓Clearance from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) cost Free
🍓A Clearance Certificate from an approved Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) cost 2,200/-
The TSC has made hints that individuals who get promoted to headteacher and deputy roles will be assigned outside of their present sub-counties.
Senior teachers are more likely to work in schools in their current sub-counties that have openings than in other schools.
Those that are promoted through confirmation, however, will work in the schools where they have years of performing experience.
Remorse letters, which will verify their attendance at the interview, will be sent to the teachers who were not selected.
After posting job openings in September of last year, TSC held interviews in December and January. A minimum of 105 thousand educators were selected for interviews.
From December 4 to December 15, 2023, elementary school teachers participated in promotion interviews.
Interviews for secondary school teachers and Teacher Training College (TTC) tutors took place between January 3 and January 16, 2024.
