The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has not promoted a total of 12,080 teachers after acquiring higher qualifications. According to a list prepared by the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, the employer has failed to promote the teachers; despite the latter sending their higher qualifications certificates to TSC. These teachers are Diploma, Degree, Masters and PhD holders but are yet to be promoted by TSC. KNUT has revealed that of the 12,080, 257 teachers have Masters’ degrees, 6,370 with bachelor’s degrees and 5,453 are diploma holders.
KNUT and TSC are engaged in a tussle over promotion of teachers who have attained higher qualifications and delocalization of teachers. The two sides have failed to reach an amicable agreement with the Conciliator expected to give an update of the talks tomorrow. The Conciliation Committee is chaired by Charles Maranga who is on Wednesday, tomorrow; 31st January 2019, expected to present a report to the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
Nakuru KNUT branch leads with the highest number of teachers who want promotions followed by Mumias, Bungoma North, Kitui and Butere. TSC freezed promotions of Teachers way back in 2014.

Promotions should be based on qualifications and not on job groups please TSC don’t tempt us to look for greener pastures, how can certificate personnel guide a PhD older expect a great commotion we need consideration as quickly as possible, it’s very difficult down. For your consumption the policy organ in TSC.
