<p>Are you wondering on what will make a teacher to receive a regret letter from the TSC? Well. During the vetting process of newly recruited teachers, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, may reject the application for employment by a teacher. Such a teacher will then be served by a regret letter; detailing the reasons why his/ her employment application has been rejected by the Commission.</p>
<p>Successful applicants, though, get their employment letters. See more details here; <a href="https://educationnewshub.co.ke/tsc-letter-on-offer-of-employment-as-a-teacher-posting-letter-for-newly-employed-teacher/">TSC- Letter on offer of employment as a teacher; posting letter for newly employed teacher</a>.</p>
<p>Interviews and selection of new teachers is a delegated function that is done at the TSC County levels. Once the exercise is completed the TSC County Director submits the following to the TSC Headquarters;</p>

<h3><strong>WHY A NEW TEACHER MAY GET A REGRET LETTER FROM TSC.</strong></h3>
<p>Once the documents have been submitted to the TSC headquarter, a rigorous exercise is carried out that involves close scrutiny of the documents. This exercise takes many days, and this explains the reason (s) as to why appointment letters delay for up to a period of over three (3) months.</p>
<p>Here are some of the reasons why a teacher may get a regret letter from TSC:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the teacher took lesser units in the teaching subjects at college. TSC requires that a teacher takes a minimum of eight (8) units for each of the teaching subjects.</li>
<li>Except for Technical subjects, in post primary institutions, the teaching subjects must appear in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate. For secondary school teachers, the minimum score for the teaching subjects is a C+ (plus).</li>
<li>If you got a mean grade of below a C+ (plus), for high school teachers, then count yourself unlucky. The Commission will have to reject your application for employment.</li>
<li>Your names should not conflict on your documents. In case of any disparities, it is necessary that you get a sworn affidavit.</li>
<li>Detected fraud; If the recruitment process was flawed at the County level and the &#8216;wrong&#8217; applicant filled the TSC employment form, then the decision would be rescinded and the right candidate be employed.</li>
</ul>
<p>These are just but some of the reasons that may make the Commission to reject a teacher&#8217;s application for employment.</p>
