The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been allocated Ksh 1 billion for teacher promotions in the 2025-2026 financial year. This funding, approved by the parliamentary budget and appropriations committee, will facilitate the promotion of at least 20,000 teachers to higher job groups.
Hon. Julius Melly, the Tinderet Member of Parliament and Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Committee on Education, emphasized that these promotions will play a crucial role in motivating teachers and addressing gaps in teaching resources.
TSC’s annual goal is to promote at least 20,000 teachers, ensuring career progression and addressing job stagnation. The promotions encompass deployments to both junior and senior secondary schools.
TSC intends to issue promotion letters in April 2025 to teachers who successfully passed the January and February promotion interviews. Those who did not qualify will receive regret letters. The Commission will also publish the list of successful candidates on its website.
Interviews for post-primary school teachers took place between January 27 and February 6, 2025, while primary school teacher interviews were conducted from January 13 to January 23, 2025. These interviews applied to teachers from Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs) and secondary schools.
