TSC to send thousands of unemployed teachers overseas: Full details.

Kenya has unveiled a new plan to send its unemployed teachers to work abroad, offering thousands of trained educators a fresh path to employment while expanding the country’s presence in the international education sector.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has introduced a policy framework and guidelines that will facilitate the placement of qualified teachers in foreign schools through formal agreements with other countries and international institutions.

The framework is designed to ease joblessness among teachers, strengthen Kenya’s role in the global teaching workforce, and create structured pathways for educators seeking international exposure.

TSC records show that the country has registered over 714,000 teachers.

Out of these, about 400,000 are on permanent and pensionable terms, leaving nearly half without secure jobs. This is despite a nationwide shortage of more than 130,000 teachers across public schools.

Current staffing gaps are most pronounced in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.

Data from the Commission shows that junior secondary schools are lacking 72,422 teachers, while senior secondary schools face a shortfall of 65,070. This represents deficits of 49 per cent and 33 per cent, respectively.

According to the Commission, the new policy aims to promote Kenyan education standards internationally, encourage cooperation in teacher exchange, and give teachers sustainable opportunities for career growth abroad.

The framework outlines how teachers will be selected, matched with suitable openings, and deployed through formal agreements between Kenya and foreign governments or institutions.

The Commission will create a central database of qualified teachers willing to work abroad and regularly update it to match candidates with available positions.

Teachers employed on permanent and pensionable terms who choose to take up foreign jobs will have to resign first, but will be allowed to reapply for vacancies upon their return. Their international experience will be assessed and recognised through the Recognition of Prior Learning (2021) framework.

“The Commission will liaise with the Ministries of Labour and Social Security and Foreign Affairs to advocate for clear, fair and competitive terms and conditions of service for Kenyan teachers employed outside Kenya,” states the policy.

“The Commission will advocate for standardised contracts detailing all aspects of service, including salary, working hours, benefits, housing, insurance and repatriation terms, in line with international best practices,” it adds.

To prepare teachers for their assignments abroad, the Commission plans to conduct pre-departure training covering security, health, travel procedures, contractual obligations and cultural orientation.

The policy explains that teachers returning from foreign postings will not be automatically re-employed but can apply for vacancies. Their overseas exposure will count towards professional development and progression within TSC.

Applicants must be Kenyan citizens, registered with the TSC, possess the required qualifications, and have clean records of conduct and performance. The Commission will conduct strict screening, verify qualifications, and match candidates with appropriate positions based on their training and experience.

Additionally, TSC intends to build formal partnerships with teacher management institutions abroad and collaborate with host organisations to ensure employment terms are fair and meet agreed standards.

While the document does not reveal target countries, it highlights that placements will be made through bilateral and government-to-government arrangements.

 

 

“The Commission will consider placing teachers in international teaching jobs through the implementation of Government-to-Government labour export initiatives. It will collaborate with relevant Government agencies and international partners to facilitate placement and support for teachers under this programme,” the policy states.

Kuppet asks TSC to transfer all the Litein Boys’ Teachers after violent strike

The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is demanding the immediate transfer of teachers from Litein Boys’ High School following the recent student unrest that left staff traumatised and counting heavy losses.

Kericho Branch Executive Secretary Mary Rotich said the union will write to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to push for the redeployment of all teachers currently stationed at the school.

Teachers at Litein Boys have suffered immensely at the hands of students. Many are psychologically disturbed and cannot continue working in such an environment,” said Rotich.

Addressing the press in Kericho, Rotich revealed that teachers lost property worth millions of shillings during the chaos, dismissing claims by parents that there were no significant losses.

“It is wrong and insensitive for anyone to downplay what teachers went through. They lost valuable property and peace of mind,” she stated.

The union official further called for enhanced safety measures in schools, noting that cases of teachers being attacked or injured during student unrest are becoming increasingly common.

“Teachers’ safety must be prioritised. We cannot allow a situation where educators are exposed to violence while simply doing their jobs,” Rotich said.

Her remarks come a day after parents of students at Litein Boys’ High School, through lawyer Danstan Omari, filed a petition at the Kericho High Court disputing claims that teachers lost KSh 30 million during the incident.

The case, which has been certified as urgent, has been referred to Justice Joseph Sergon for directions.

Rotich, however, maintained that the welfare of teachers remains KUPPET’s top concern.

“We will not allow our members to continue working in fear. The TSC must act immediately and transfer them to safer environments,” she affirmed.

Over 50,000 Senior School Teachers and ToTs Receive Retooling Allowances

Over 50, 000 senior school teachers and the Trainer of Trainees, ToTs have received their retooling allowances which was paid by the Teachers Service Commission.

This come amid allowances disparity outcry from the tutors, who have questioned the criteria used as their as their allowances vary even though they were retooled on the same programme.

“Some of us have received Ksh 2550 while another group Ksh 14000.We need to be clarified on the difference”, lamented Amuyungu, a senior school teacher from Nairobi region. After trying to reach his friends, the teacher decided to seek clarification from one of the sub county Directors from the city.

It is emerging that teachers have always been paid retooling allowances based on whether they teach in Special schools or units, regular Schools or are stationed in hardship gazetted areas.

Education news has established that SNE teachers were paid Ksh14000 .For the five days of retooling. Each one being paid Ksh2000 per day and a further Ksh4000 as transport reimbursement (Ksh2000 twice), while the rest of the regular teachers were paid Ksh500 per day for the five days they attended the training.

Different from the sne teachers, regular teachers training was not residential this attracting lower allowances. It was further established that, TSC paid a whooping Ksh31,500 to trainer of trainees who were majorly made up of officers from TSC, MoE, Cemastea and KICD.

During the August retooling exercise, TSC retooled over 50,000 senior school teachers in preparation for grade 10 roll out next year. It is also expected that the second phase of retooling is scheduled for December holiday immediately after the end of National exams.

TSC requires 137,000 more Secondary School Teachers

The Ministry of Education, (MoE) has revealed that more than 137,000 additional teachers are required in secondary schools to bridge severe staffing gaps.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba disclosed the figures during the Teacher Education Conference in Mombasa, where over 600 stakeholders were in-attendance.

According to TSC data, junior secondary schools are short of 72,422 teachers, while senior secondary schools face a deficit of 65,070. This translates to nearly 49 per cent and 33 per cent staffing gaps respectively, with the shortage most acute in science, vocational, and STEM subjects.

CS Ogamba said the shortage is driven by growing student enrolment and the demands of Competency-Based Education (CBE). He stressed that addressing the crisis requires sustained recruitment, policy reforms, and investment in training programmes.

Despite the shortfall, the supply pipeline is struggling to keep up. Public diploma colleges can admit about 49,000 teacher trainees, while universities have enrolled more than 183,000 students in education programmes. However, most are concentrated in arts and science education, leaving gaps in specialized fields.

Placement data from KUCCPS shows that 68,972 students joined education degree programmes in the 2025/2026 cycle, 40 per cent of all degree admissions. Yet, a backlog of 369,430 registered but unemployed teachers remains, even as TSC manages a workforce of 431,831.

The Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms has recommended raising entry requirements for pre-service training, upgrading certificate teachers to diploma level, and establishing new training institutions. It also called for structured internships, mentorships, and mandatory retooling to prepare teachers for CBE.

Ogamba affirmed that the government is committed to aligning teacher training with national priorities to ensure quality education delivery.

“Resolving this imbalance between demand and supply is critical for sustainable education development,” he said.

JSS Teachers hold demos to have their TSC employment terms changed to PnP

JSS Teachers hold demos to have their TSC employment terms changed to PnP
Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Bomet County, led by officials of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), held peaceful demonstrations to demand full administrative autonomy and improved working conditions for JSS staff.

The teachers, who marched through Bomet town streets, called on the government to grant JSS schools independent leadership structures to ensure effective management and quality learning.

Led by KUPPET Executive Secretary Paul Kimeto, the demonstrators stated that the current arrangement — where JSS teachers operate under primary school management — has created confusion, slowed decision-making, and hindered the delivery of quality education.

Kimeto insisted that JSS institutions should have their own principals, deputy principals, and heads of departments (HODs) to ensure smooth operations and provide learners with proper academic and administrative attention.

“The autonomy of JSS is long overdue. The government must create clear administrative structures to ensure efficiency and accountability in junior schools,” Kimeto said.

He further urged the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to confirm all JSS intern teachers who have served on contract since 2023, arguing that they have made significant sacrifices over the years and deserve recognition.

“The first cohort of interns must be promoted once confirmed by the TSC. The years they have served as interns must be recognised as part of their experience for career progression,” Kimeto added.

The union leader also raised concerns over challenges in the teachers’ Minet health insurance scheme, saying many members have been unable to access medical services despite regular deductions.

He urged the TSC and Minet to ensure that services are fully operational at AGC Tenwek Hospital in Bomet, which many teachers rely on for treatment.

“Our members’ payslips are mutilated, yet they cannot access services at Tenwek Hospital. The TSC and Minet must intervene immediately,” he said.

On his part, Jackson Kip Cheruiyot, a JSS teacher, said that the lack of distinct leadership in junior schools has compromised learning quality and demoralised teachers.

“The operational confusion in primary setups is nothing but gambling with the lives of learners. Junior school pupils are at a critical stage of choosing career pathways and need teachers who are supported and well-guided,” he noted.

The teachers vowed to continue pushing for reforms until their concerns are addressed by the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission.

Deadline for filing TPAD data by TSC Teachers: TSC Latest News

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has opened the portal for filing teachers’ term three (3) 2019 appraisal data. This is to allow teacher file their Teachers Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) data online.

TSC holds that teachers must continue uploading their performance appraisal data as per the Career Progression Guidelines. The Commission uses data captured on the TPAD system when considering teachers for promotions. Teachers who are yet to upload their data for term 3 now have until Tuesday 13th December, 2019 to do so. This is the deadline for both the Appraisee and Appraiser. For guide on how to use TPAD, click here:
Simplified TPAD user guide

The Appraisee is the individual teacher while the Appraiser is the immediate Supervisor. For example, in a secondary school, the Appraisee is the classroom teacher while the Head of Department or the Deputy Principal is the Appraiser. Individual teachers log onto the sytem to fill in their self appraised data, while the Heads of Departments or Deputy Principals log onto the system to enter their data on the appraised teachers’ performance.

Here are links to the most important news portals:

New System.

Meanwhile, TSC has created a new user friendly portal for capturing the appraisal data. The Commission has at the same time reduced the number of teaching standards to be appraised for teachers from the previous seven to five on its online appraisal portal.
To enhance implementation, the Commission has customized the TPAD tools targeting teachers serving in primary, secondary, special needs institutions and post secondary institutions, where, while the teaching standards are the same for all categories of teachers, performance indicators and verifiable evidence have been customized for various institutions.

To access the new TPAD system here is the link to use; https://tpad2.tsc.go.ke/. You will be expected to insert your ID No.

Click on “create account”. You will get an sms code on your phone. The new TPAD system will be in force effective term three 2019.

How to register for AON Minet, Add Dependants, Get benefits, Contacts

Leave a comment

Simplified AON TSC online registration process

You can register AON Minet medical cover using your phone. Follow these simple steps:

  • For Safaricom line dial *384*847#
  • For  Airtel *865#
  • Have your DOB, ID no, TSC no and pay station code with you
  • The ID of your spouse, DOB, the DOB of children if applicable.

Ultimate Procedure

1. Type *384*847# from Safaricom Line and *865# from Airtel Line: You will be welcomed with a message “Welcome to Aon TSC Medical Insurance Registration”.

2. Enter your TSC Number and ID Number

The above will be verified against your details in the TSC database

3. If successful, you will be asked to enter Name (surname and other names), DOB, Workstation Number, family size including self, gender and whether you and other members of your family stay together.

If not successful, you will be asked to contact a number at Aon for further assistance (020 497 4799, 0730 647 799, 0719 044 799).

All erroneous attempts will be logged onto the system and will be queried so as to reach the teacher in ‘Registration Distress’ or control fraudsters

4. Once done, you will be given a pass-code that you can use to register your dependants and a message confirming that you are now a fully registered member with Aon TSC Medical Scheme

5. While registering your spouse, please provide telephone number

6. While registering children, please state whether they are disabled. If over eighteen (18) of age, kindly provide their ID Numbers

The procedure for AON TSC registration using a phone with an Airtel SIM card is EXACTLY the same as above for Safaricom, because you dial the same USSD *252# for self-registration. The difference comes when confirming if dependents are registered using an Airtel number, as you will need to dial *865#.

How to confirm your registration

TSC to retool junior secondary schools (JSS) Teachers on CBC and CBA

Leave a comment

In April of this year, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will retool junior secondary schools (JSS) on the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessment (CBA).

The TSC aims to retrain JSS teachers of technical subjects, languages, science, math, and humanities.

In venues chosen by the county for face-to-face training, JSS instructors will be grouped by subject for teachers employed in special needs education (SNE) and mainstream schools.

However, Master Trainers—who are made up of senior officials from a variety of organizations, including KNEC, KEMI, CEMASTEA, MOE, KISE, and TTCs—will kick off the training.

The Trainers of Trainers (ToTs), who are champion teachers, Teacher Educators (Tutors), Curriculum Support Officers, TSC sub-county directors, and MOE Quality Assurance Officers, will then be trained by the Master Trainers for three days.

The Commission issued the following internal memorandum to direct the procedure for the exercise scheduled in April.

Request for Proposals – Applicable for services of intellectual nature. At least 3 proposals  maximum 7  out of those who expressed the interest.

Stock Taking

 

This is the process in which the administration of an institution verifies the agreement between the book quantity of stores and the physical presence of the stores. The physical presence is confirmed by physical counting of the stores concerned.

 

 

Methods of Stock Taking

 

 

There are two methods

 

 

1.                    Periodic stock taking

 

 

This is a method which involves physically counting and knowing physical quantities of all types of stores at given date. eg. months, termly or 100% count at the end of the year. When undertaking the exercise, the following should be considered.

 

 

  • Adequate number of staff should be available and should receive clear and precise instruction on the procedure to be

 

 

  • The stock taking should be done at a weekend or overnight so as not to interfere with the normal operations of the

 

 

  • The completed stock sheet should have random independent checks to verify their

 

 

  • The quantities of each type of stores should be checked against the stock record to expose any gross errors and any discrepancies be

 

 

2.                    Continuous Stock taking

 

 

This is the preferred system of stock-taking stock under this approach involves operating a system whereby a proportion of stock is checked daily so that over an year all stock is checked at least once and high value and fast moving items can be checked severally.

 

 

  • The staff conducting the stock take should be independent of store

 

  • The bursar, or some other appointed staff should conduct the stock take.

 

NB: The principal has a duty to perform random checks on any inventory item as an internal check.

 

 

Re-order

 

 

To enhance smooth running of the institution, the store keeper should be able to calculate the

  1. The pensability/durability

 

  1. Storage space/facilities

 

 

Centralized Stores

 

 

This is a system of store keeping whereby all items of stores are received and issued to user department from a central location. The opposite of this is decentralized stores where the stores are received and issued from different locations e.g. food items at the dining hall, lab chemicals at the laboratories, stationery at the secretaries office etc.

 

 

Advantages of Centralization

 

 

  1. Less risk of duplication of stores

 

  1. Higher quality staff may be employed and utilized optimumly

 

  1. Closer control

 

  1. More security from pilferage

 

  1. Reduced paper work

 

  1. Ease at stock taking

 

  1. Modern stock-keeping techniques may be applied

 

 

 

Disadvantage

 

 

  1. Less convenient for outlying user department

 

  1. Delays in obtaining materials

 

  1. Greater internal transport cost in carrying materials

 

  1. Stores situation might not be technically advisable for special care items e.g. lab chemicals
