TSC Teachers Redeployment Process. Given that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has discovered that elementary schools using the new CBC curriculum have an excess of instructors, mass teacher transfers are anticipated to begin.
The Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) was implemented in primary and junior schools, which altered staffing arrangements and decreased the number of classroom lessons taught by each teacher, according to TSC.
According to the commission, there is an excess of 18,194 instructors because there is a noticeable decline in the need for teachers in primary schools.
In order to guarantee a more balanced and lower teacher-pupil ratio in all schools, TSC disclosed intentions to redistribute a number of teachers throughout schools in order to address the junior secondary teacher shortage.
Earlier this year, TSC announced that it will we continue reviewing systems and staffing levels at both primary and post-primary levels for purposes of enhancing teachers equitable distribution in all institutions across the country.
While addressing the media during kcse release in Eldoret, Macharia said that the implementation of the CBC in primary and Junior Schools has shaken up the staffing levels, resulting to the number of classes in the primary school level reduced by two classes that is for Standard 7 and 8.

Macharia further noted that the introduction of an extra class in 2024 Grade 8 at the Junior School resulted in a deficit of 42,117 teachers to this grade.
In order to encourage and receive a portion of the mass transfer to junior schools, TSC announced 6,000 slots for primary school teachers who have continued their education.
According to TSC, instructors who have successfully finished their education degrees with at least eight units in their area of specialization are eligible to teach.
Additionally, the teachers must have received a C+ or above in two of the courses they teach, and they must submit their information by March 18, 2023.
