TSC Transfers The Following County & Regional Directors

As part of its ongoing efforts to maximize leadership across Kenya’s education sector, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has implemented another round of high-profile transfers that affect three county directors and one regional director.

 

This follows previous reshuffles that resulted in the reassignment of dozens of senior officials.

 

 

 

These strategic transfers demonstrate TSC’s commitment to:

 

– Enhancing administrative efficiency

 

– Promoting equitable distribution of experienced leadership

 

– Addressing performance gaps in various regions

 

– Implementing its mandate of effective teacher management
