Category Of Teachers To Be Given Priority In The TSC Promotions. The group of teachers who have served in acting roles will be given priority during teacher promotions. This is reference to the clarification provided by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) yesterday.
As per to mr.Jamleck Muturi, current chairperson of the TSC board, and Mr. Calvin Anyuor, current head of legal services gave a directive before MPs that they had taken intentional steps to guarantee that deputy headteachers who have been serving in that capacity would be the first to be promoted.
These two clarified why some deputies had not received promotions when they came before MPs, saying that it is because they had not complied with the standards for promotion.
In addition, he claimed that the job evaluation report categorized the grades of different teachers in national, county, extra-county, and sub-county schools.
Anyuor stated in another statement,that they are going to ensure that the teachers get first priority.

Addding that however,this cannot happen automatically because after the job evaluation criteria were done, schools were categorised from national, extra-county and sub-counties and the same were given grades and therefore, these grades must be met,”
TSC further regretted, however, that over the previous ten years they had not received additional budgetary allocations for the promotion of teachers, with the exception of the money allocated in July 2017 for a salary review based on the results of the job evaluation report produced by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
About the natural attrition
Anyuor said that as at of the moment, TSC said that about 15,000 teachers are projected to exit the service by December 31 as a result of natural attrition.

The sentiments by the duo came after Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera raised concern that some of the deputies who have been in an acting capacity have never been promoted.
Meanwhile, the committee which is chaired by Tinderet MP Julius Melly gave the commission up to January 31 to ensure all teachers who had been delocalised have been transferred to their areas.
Then melly told the commission not to belabour the matter but to ensure it tables a report on how it plans to implement the said move after the National Assembly made a decision on the said policy.
This move came after it emerged that about 14,733 teachers as of November last year had requested transfers from their current workstations following the abolishment of the policy on delocalisation of teachers.
