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.
