The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) promotes teachers in Kenya as a way of motivating them.
The objective of promotion is to reward performance, manage succession and expand opportunities for career growth and progression. Thus, when a teacher is promoted, their basic salary and allowances are adjusted upwards accordingly
Promotion of teachers by TSC is based on existing schemes of Service i.e the TSC Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) and/ or the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs).
The Commission shall in promoting a teacher, consider the Appraisal Reports (Teachers Performance and Appraisal Development TPAD) submitted on termly basis
Promotion of teachers is done in three different ways:
1.Promotion on common cadre
establishmentPromotion through Teacher Proficiency Course (TPC)Promotion through competitive selectionPromotion on common cadre establishment applies to a category of teachers who may move from one job group to another without the need for a competitive selection process or availability of vacancies, provided they meet the minimum qualifications for the grade.
This involves teachers in Job Group J (C1), K (C2) and L (C3). Promotion from Job Group J to K and K to L is done after three years satisfactory performance.
To get the common cadre promotion, all you need to do is to fill the TSC promotion form1.Promotion through Teacher Proficiency Course (TPC) covers non-graduate teachers in Job Groups G (B5) and H (C1), who must undertake a Teacher Proficiency Course. This has since become defunct
2.Promotion through competitive selection covers promotion of teachers to Job Groups M (C4), N (C5), P (D1), Q (D2) and R (D3).
The Commission usually advertises for these vacancies after some time (subject to availability of funds). Interested and qualified applicants are then supposed to apply through the TSC online portal.
Shortlisting of applicants is done at the TSC headquarters. Names of shortlisted candidates for Job Groups M and N and guidelines are then forwarded to County Directors and Regional Coordinators who conduct the interviews at the county and Regional Levels.
