Criteria used for promoting teachers in 2021

According the guidelines released by TSC, Factors like regional balance, gender equity and affirmative action for ASAL (Arid and Semi Arid Lands) counties among others were considered. The Commission further adds that the promotions were equitably distributed across the regions

TSC says the Promotion is guided by career progression guidelines under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.

“All vacant positions are advertised and filled competitively. All teachers are given equal opportunities through interviews sessions.” TSC says.

The above considerations were applied in addition to the minimum qualifications for teachers to be promoted to the next grade.

A total of 16,152 teachers were promoted after the recent interviews.

Keep checking here for all the lists of promoted teachers per County; which will be uploaded very soon.

Chances of being promoted

Even before you get your promotion results, you can speculate on whether you have been lucky or not. One way to do this is by reflecting on how you responded to questions that were asked during the interview.

Secondly, performance at the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations for the last three years played a key role in determining whether you would be promoted or not.

Numbers of promoted Teachers per County

As expected Kiambu County got the highest number of promoted teachers after recording the highest number of applicants at 1,717. Kisii came in second with 1,673 applicants while Kakamega had 1,488 applicants.

TSC promotion list 2021 pdf

Getting a promotion from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is the big dream for every teacher. This is because such promotions come with a salary increment; however little it may be. The Commission has released promotion results for teachers who attended promotion interviews in 2020 and 2021. The promotions are for over 16,000 lucky teachers out of the over 33,000 who attended the interviews.

You can now confirm if you have been promoted by checking the official TSC promotion lists, here. Some teachers have even received their promotion letters.

How fast you get your interview results and promotion letter varies from County to County. Whereas most Counties have made the lists of promoted teachers public, in some counties this is a highly guarded secret. The teachers through their unions can engage the TSC County Director who is directly responsible for releasing such vital information.

You can, at the same time, go through the promotion lists available in this site.

TSC promotions 2021- Here are the new interview dates

TSC promotions 2021- The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has set new dates for Diploma teachers’ promotions interviews. This is after an outcry from the teachers that they would miss the interviews as others are involved in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations marking.

The teachers can now breath a sigh of relief after the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) intervened. Many of the affected teachers had arrived in Nairobi when they received invitations for the interviews, which came with very short notice.

Following many complaints, the union conducted a survey among the examiners to establish the depth of the problem. Indeed, many examiners were having torrid times trying to decide wether to shun the marking exercise and attend the interviews or not.

“In the circumstances, we urge the Commission to immediately call off the interviews slated for this month and conduct the same in May or on any convenient dates after the marking of the KCSE exams.” Reads a demand letter from Kuppet Secretary General Akello Misori.

In July 2020, the Commission embarked on the final phase of promotion of teachers for the financial year 2020/2021. A calendar of activity for the interviews was prepared with the last set of interviews scheduled to take place from 26/4/2021 to 30/4/2021.

However as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which disrupted the Education calendar in the country, the scheduled interviews have conflicted with marking of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) national examination currently taking place.

Consequently, the Commission has re-scheduled the interviews for advert Number 2/2021, 3/2021, 4/2021, 6/2021, and 7/2021 to a date to be communicated in due course.

TSC is seeking to promote all the diploma holders before the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) comes to an end in July this year. See also; Teachers’ new salaries, promotions; Details of the 2021-2025 TSC- KUPPET Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA).

Delayed interview results

Kuppet is also demanding answers on behalf of some some teachers being invited for fresh interviews when they had done the same in December 2020, and are yet to receive any communication on the outcome.

The Commission has also not released promotion results for teachers who attended interviews in February this year.

A majority of the interviewees will be battling out for the 6,680 vacancies available for teachers in grade C3 (Formerly L). Successful candidates will be promoted to grade C4 (Senior Master IV) which is the entry grade to the administrative positions in Post Primary Learning Institutions.

TSC reveals criteria used to promote teachers (See promotion lists per County and letters)

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revealed the criteria used in promoting teachers this year. The promotion lists and letters for the teachers are now available. According to the Commission’s revelation, a number of factors were considered in coming up with the final list of promoted teachers.

According the guidelines released by TSC, Factors like regional balance, gender equity and affirmative action for ASAL (Arid and Semi Arid Lands) counties among others were considered. The Commission further adds that the promotions were equitably distributed across the regions

TSC says the Promotion is guided by career progression guidelines under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.

“All vacant positions are advertised and filled competitively. All teachers are given equal opportunities through interviews sessions.” TSC says.

The above considerations were applied in addition to the minimum qualifications for teachers to be promoted to the next grade.
