TSC Promotion Of C4 Deputies. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will appoint Heads of Institutions (HOI) to experienced deputy headteachers and principals around the country.
This decision was driven by the significant amount of openings created by a spike in teacher retirements.
To fill these positions, the TSC has instructed County Directors to compile data on deputy headteachers who have been employed for a minimum of eight years.
Locating candidates that meet the requirements for promotion will be made simpler with the help of this data, which is offered in the form of an Excel template.
Approximately 400,000 teachers retired in June, including a sizable number of headteachers, highlighting the importance of this project.
Furthermore, in December 2023, 2,400 headteachers retired, leaving a large number of open posts.
Because of the rise in retirements, there is a pressing need for new leadership in schools.
Scheduled Promotions for 2024–2025.
The TSC anticipates promoting 12,000 teachers in the 2024–2025 budget year in response to the growing need for new leaders.
