TSC to use performance appraisal ratings for 2016, 2017 and 2018 in promoting one thousand public primary schools’ teachers; Procedure

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, will use the teacher’s appraisal performance rating to appoint one thousand public primary schools’ teachers to teach at secondary schools. Teachers who hold P1 certificates and a Bachelor’s degree but teaching in primary schools will garner promotions and elevation to teach at secondary level. Among other requirements, the teacher must have a satisfactory performance rating for 2016, 2017 and 2018.

This comes even as the Kenya National Union of Teachers, knut, continues to oppose the performance ratings. Knut is opposed to the employer’s decision to use the Career Progression guidelines as opposed to the Scheme of Service for teachers in promoting them. If this requirement is used, then some teachers will miss out on the promotions list for failing to update their TPAD details; termly as required by the Commission.

Other Requirements

According to the TSC advert, eligible candidates should meet the following basic requirements:

  1. Be Kenyan citizens;
  2. P1 certificate;
  3. Bachelor’s degree in education with 2 teaching subjects;
  4. Must have minimum mean grade C+ (Plus) at Kenya certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) or its equivalent and minimum C+ (Plus) in two teaching subjects;
  5. Must be employees of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

Interested applicants have up to the 30th of August, 2019, to file their applications online.
