The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has issued the 2025 promotion letters in all grades. Teachers who were promoted from C3 to C4 have been appointed as Senior Master IV ; T-Scale 9 (Grade C4). Acc0rding to the appointment letters seen by this writer, the appointment date is April 1st, 2025.
The promotions were based on interviews conducted in January and February of 2025; which covered nine different grades, from C2 to D5, with the largest number of promotions in grades C4 and C5. The Education Committee also directed that 1,864 teachers be removed from the list due to not meeting the minimum three-year service requirement.
In a status report addressed to the Education Committee on 27th May, TSC indicated that a total of 1,864 teachers were removed from the initial promotion list that was published early in April in compliance with the Committees resolution.
TSC CEO Nancy Macharia said the teachers were dropped because they did not meet the minimum three year requirement inline with Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) for teachers.
“In compliance with the Committees recommendations, the balance of 1,864 teachers who were promoted but have not met the requisite three year requirement has been removed from the promotion list,” said Macharia.
“In compliance with the Committees resolutions, the vacancies created from the above have been redistributed proportionally across the country based on the number of interviewed applicants,” she added.
