According to a source, teachers who advance to administrative roles—particularly those of deputy and headteacher—will be assigned within the county but outside of their subcounties.
However those promoted to senior teacher positions will be posted to schools with vacancies within their sub counties.
Those in acting positions and confirmed will be retained in the schools where they have been acting for years.The Commission advertised a total of 36,505 promotion vacancies for primary and post primary school teachers in September last year.
The interviews for primary school teachers were done from 4th to 15th December 2023. Secondary school teachers and Teacher Training College (TTC) tutors had their interviews running from 3rd to 16th January 2024.
Many teachers were disappointed after TSC published a list of those successful. Majority say the promotions were unfair.This is after it emerged that very junior teachers were promoted while their seniors who have served for many years were left.
