TSC promotion 2021 list for Head Teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released the list of promoted teachers. The good news is that a total of 2,111 teachers have been promoted to Head Teachers at T-Scale 10 (C5). These teachers have a reason smile as they will now earn an increased monthly salary with effect from March, 2021.

The Commission has also revealed the criteria used in promoting the over 16,000 teachers in 2021. According to the Commission’s revelation, a number of factors were considered in coming up with the final list of promoted teachers.

TSC says factors like regional balance, gender equity and affirmative action for ASAL (Arid and Semi Arid Lands) counties among others were considered. The Commission further adds that the promotions were equitably distributed across the regions

TSC reaffirms that the Promotion is guided by career progression guidelines under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.

“All vacant positions are advertised and filled competitively. All teachers are given equal opportunities through interviews sessions.” TSC says.

The above considerations were applied in addition to the minimum qualifications for teachers to be promoted to the next grade.

A total of 16,152 teachers were promoted after the recent interviews.

You can now check here for all the lists of promoted teachers per County and grade.

TSC urges teachers to go for Covid 19 vaccine

Teachers in the Country have been urged to go for the COVID-19 government vaccine offered free at the various medical centres to protect their lives as well as those of students.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Chief Executive Officer, Nancy Macharia, called on the trainers not to ignore the vaccine, adding that the President granted all teachers an opportunity to get the vaccination regardless of age.

“Let us utilize this  opportunity to protect our lives,” revealing that it is sad to note that so far, the commission has  lost 37 secondary school teachers; including 24 principals, three Deputy Principals and 10 classroom teachers.

Speaking on Monday during the release of exam results for the 2020 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), Mrs Macharia however lauded the 151,494 teachers who have so far been vaccinated as of yesterday.

According to her, this constitutes 48.9 per cent female teachers and 51 per cent male.

This figure she stated was impressive despite the fact that most teachers have been on the move, either during the administration of the examination or during the marking exercise.

“The Commission is impressed with the high rate of COVID-19 vaccine uptake among teachers. Majority of the teachers aged 58 and above have taken the jab,” she said.

TSC unveils a new Medical Scheme For Teachers To Replace Minet

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced that teachers across the country will move to a new medical insurance scheme provided by the Social Health Authority.

The Commission informed that teachers would be moved to the new scheme by December 1, 2025, as the current scheme provided by a local private insurance company nears its expiry.

While detailing the new scheme, TSC said that teachers would be enrolled in the Public Service Fund, where they would enjoy a premium SHA medical cover.

The premium supplements and extends beyond the core SHA benefits for public officers.

In the new scheme, teachers will get access to outpatient and inpatient services; specialised services such as dental and optical care; annual checkups; ambulance services, for both road and emergency, air-rescue; overseas treatment; group life; and last expenses.

The scheme covers the principal member, spouse, and up to six dependents.

The latest comes days after a meeting between President William Ruto and representatives of teachers at State House. Teachers aired their grievances to Ruto including dispute over their medical scheme.

However, the shift comes despite teachers rejecting the move, citing lamentations by other civil servants, such as the police, regarding SHA’s misgivings while seeking medical treatment.

Led by Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Nakuru boss Anthony Gioshe, the teachers vowed to reject any move by the Ministry of Health to onboard them to the government scheme.

While urging teachers to reject any move to be onboarded in SHA, Gioshe disclosed that teachers did not have faith in the new medical insurance scheme.

“We have heard a story from the government that they want to move us into SHA. We have no problem with the Social Health Authority, but we are saying this, we will not go there,” Gioshe noted.

Further, Gioshe called for an independent cover for teachers, referencing the vast teacher workforce employed by the State.

In rejecting the proposed move to SHA, teachers argued that the existing cover was extensive, covering the teacher, their spouse, and up to four children.

They argued members could access services without a physical medical card, using their payroll number or biometric verification at accredited hospitals in the scheme.

The teachers also raised the issue of the 2.75 per cent mandatory SHA deduction of one’s gross income or household income, which they contended clashed with the existing cover, resulting in a double taxation on their payslips.

TSC Introduces New Guidelines for Teachers Supervising KCSE, KJSEA, and KPSEA

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released comprehensive guidelines for the nomination and deployment of centre managers, supervisors, and invigilators for the 2025 national examinations. These include the upcoming Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), Kenya Junior School Education Assessment (KJSEA), Kenya Pre-Vocational Learners Education Assessment (KPLEA), Kenya Intermediate Learners Education Assessment (KILEA), and the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) Summative Assessment.

The directives, issued in a circular dated September 2, 2025, to all TSC Sub-County Directors aim to reinforce the integrity and efficiency of national examination administration through the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), acting as a detailed blueprint for all personnel involved.

Nomination process and eligibility criteria

To participate in the administration of these crucial national assessments, Heads of Institutions (HoIs) and teachers must be qualified, employed, and registered by the TSC. The nominated personnel are expected to demonstrate a high level of integrity and be free from any potential conflicts of interest.

The nomination process requires Sub-County Directors to identify, vet, and formally nominate centre managers, supervisors, and invigilators by September 26, 2025, utilising a specific online platform (cp2.knec.ac.ke).

After nomination, all identified personnel must register within the CP2 system to finalize their deployment for the 2025 examinations.

Stringent deployment rules and experience requirements

The guidelines include strict rules governing deployment to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure impartiality:

  • A supervisor or invigilator is prohibited from being deployed to a school where they have served within the last three years.

Furthermore, personnel should not be deployed to centres where they possess a vested interest. To manage this, KNEC will distribute declaration forms via email to Sub-County Directors, who will then forward them to centre managers. Staff must declare their interest and submit these forms to KNEC.

Specific qualifications and teaching experience are mandated for each role and examination category:

  • For KCSE supervisors and invigilators, candidates must be Secondary School teachers, holding a minimum of a Diploma in Education or higher, with a preference for senior teachers or Heads of Departments. They must be registered with TSC and possess a minimum of three years of teaching experience.
  • KJSEA supervisors must be Secondary School teachers with a Diploma in Education or higher, or Primary/Junior School Teachers with at least three years of teaching experience. These supervisors must have prior experience supervising national examinations and assessments. Both KJSEA supervisors and invigilators must be registered with TSC and have three years of teaching experience

KPSEA supervisors and invigilators must be Primary School teachers, registered with TSC, and possess a minimum of three years of teaching experience.

TSC outlines responsibilities and invigilator ratios

Centre managers are crucial to the process, tasked with verifying the details and workstations of all supervisors and invigilators assigned to their centres. They are also required to take daily online attendance through the CP2 system from the rehearsal day.

At the end of each examination or assessment period, the online attendance registers must be downloaded, printed, signed by all involved officers, stamped by the centre manager, and submitted to KNEC. Both hosted and hosting centres must have their own centre managers, who are responsible for collecting and returning examination materials from the containers.

The guidelines specify precise ratios for supervision and invigilation:

  • For the Stage-based pathway examinations (KPLEA and KILEA), there must be one invigilator for every ten learners. These invigilators are also required to sign declaration forms.
  • For every two hundred (200) Candidates, one supervisor should be deployed, with an exception for hosted centres where no supervisor is deployed.
  • Centres hosting both KJSEA and KPSEA candidates must be allocated independent supervisors if they meet a minimum requirement of thirty candidates.
  • For every twenty candidates, one invigilator is to be deployed, with the exact number based on the total candidates in the hosting examination centre.
  • Significantly, centres with candidates who use touch readers (blind) must ensure they have at least one invigilator conversant with braille.

The 2025 national examinations schedule

  • KCSE: Rehearsal on October 21 with exams running from October 27 to November 21, 2025.

  • KJSEA: Rehearsal on October 24 with exams from October 27 to November 3, 2025.

  • KPLEA: Rehearsal on October 24 with exams from October 27 to October 30, 2025.

  • KPSEA: Rehearsal on October 24 with exams from October 27 to October 29, 2025.

  • KILEA: Rehearsal on October 24 with exams from October 28 to October 30, 2025.

KCSE supervisors will receive briefings weekly, and outgoing supervisors are expected to prepare handover notes for their successors. For KCSE oral and practical examination papers, supervisors only need to be present at the examination centre itself.

Sub-Counties that encounter challenges with recruitment or require assistance are advised to direct their inquiries to sl@knec.ac.ke.

TSC promotion 2021 list for Senior Lecturer I

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released the list of promoted teachers. The good news is that a total of 39 teachers have been promoted to Senior Lecturer I at T-Scale 12 (D2). These teachers have a reason smile as they will now earn an increased monthly salary with effect from March, 2021.

The Commission has also revealed the criteria used in promoting the over 16,000 teachers in 2021. According to the Commission’s revelation, a number of factors were considered in coming up with the final list of promoted teachers.

TSC says factors like regional balance, gender equity and affirmative action for ASAL (Arid and Semi Arid Lands) counties among others were considered. The Commission further adds that the promotions were equitably distributed across the regions

TSC reaffirms that the Promotion is guided by career progression guidelines under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.

“All vacant positions are advertised and filled competitively. All teachers are given equal opportunities through interviews sessions.” TSC says.

The above considerations were applied in addition to the minimum qualifications for teachers to be promoted to the next grade.

A total of 16,152 teachers were promoted after the recent interviews.

Teachers in hardship areas sue TSC for reviewing the Hardship Zones and Allowances 

Teachers working in hardship areas have sued the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, for reviewing the hardship areas and allowances. The aggrieved Tutors have moved to court to stop the government from implementing a plan that would remove hardship allowances from over 129 sub-counties, and which could see civil servants lose up to Sh6 billion in the allowances.

The Kenya Teachers in Hardship and Arid Areas Welfare Association (Kethawa) has raised concerns over the proposed implementation of the 2019 Inter-Agency Technical Committee Report on Hardship Area Reclassification, citing a lack of public consultation, scientific validation, and engagement with key stakeholders during its development.

“The reports affect 44 regions spreading across over 35 counties and over 129 sub-counties in the republic of Kenya which continue to suffer from inaccessibility, poor healthcare, insecurity, and under-resourced schools amongst other challenges. Teachers who are posted in this areas have long been recipients of hardship allowances as compensation for adverse working conditions,” read the petition.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi last week told the National Assembly that the review of the hardship areas will see the government reduce the payment of the allowances from the current Sh25, 984,087,848 to Sh19, 532,995,548.

In a court order dated May 9, 2025, Lady Justice Hellen Wasilwa directed that the petition be served upon all respondents, including the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Public Service Commission, Salaries and Remuneration Commission, Prime Cabinet Secretary, and Attorney General.

The matter is scheduled for inter partes hearing on May 20, 2025.

Through its petition, the association proposes dividing hardship areas into two tiers “extreme” and “moderate” and eliminating some regions from the hardship designation entirely.

A teacher employed by the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, holding a class session under a tree in this unidentified hardship areas.

Kethawa argues that this approach risks cutting vital allowances for teachers and other public workers, potentially causing major interruptions in essential public services.

“The report proposes a controversial reclassification that places certain counties or sub-counties into “Extreme” and “Moderate” hardship categories while excluding others altogether. The report was allegedly developed by a 2019 Inter-Agency Technical Committee allegedly composed of various government bodies. However, there is no evidence of public consultation, scientific validation, or stakeholder engagement in the development of this report before its proposed implementation,” read the petition.

“The proposed implementation of the report, currently under consideration for gazettement, will significantly reduce or eliminate hardship allowances for our teachers in affected areas. The process leading to the report and its proposed implementation violates constitutional principles, statutory requirements, and the rights of public servants and affected communities,” it adds.

The petitioners further claim that if implemented, the report will demotivate public servants, destabilize communities, and deepen marginalization in already underserved regions. The association is seeking orders to suspend the report’s implementation, compel the government to disclose its criteria, and conduct inclusive public hearings before any changes are effected.

“The selective categorization of hardship zones without an objective and rational framework constitutes unequal treatment. The implementation of the report will cause some disadvantaged regions to be removed from hardship status while others remain, without clear criteria, violating the equality clause,” it read.

Kethawa further argues that the proposal undermines the right to fair labour practices and remuneration, particularly for educators and civil servants who serve in remote and underserved areas.

“Removing hardship areas, especially in areas still lacking infrastructure, health, education, and security, infringes the residents’ and workers’ rights to accessible and adequate services. The resulting migration of public servants away from these areas due to lack of hardship support will further deepen inequality and marginalization,” they said.

The association says the potential withdrawal of hardship allowances breaches workers’ legitimate expectations, especially those who committed to challenging postings based on the existing benefits.

“The abrupt actions without notice from the Respondents violates the Right to Fair Administrative Action (Article 47). The lack of transparency, documentation, justification, and opportunity to be heard offends the right to fair administrative action,” read the petition.

The association further invokes international obligations, arguing that the proposed changes contravene several treaties Kenya has ratified.

“The Respondents actions are a violation under the ILO Convention No. 131 on Minimum Wage Fixing. Kenya is bound by international labor standards that demand transparency and worker consultation in wage-related adjustments. This unilateral decision is inconsistent with ILO principles of decent work and social justice,” read the petition.

Among the reliefs sought, the petitioners are asking for a declaration that the tabling and planned implementation of the report be halted until full stakeholder engagement is conducted.

Historically, hardship allowances for teachers have varied significantly. In 2019, the lowest-paid teachers received approximately Sh3,055 per month, while the highest-paid earned up to Sh13,479. Subsequent adjustments saw these figures rise, with some teachers receiving between Sh10,900 and Sh38,100.

More like this:

However, Kethawa maintains that these amounts remain insufficient given the harsh conditions in which their members operate.

“Take not that failure to incorporate our input in the 2025 to 2029 CBA will be met with all manner of lawful resistance from teachers working in hardship and arid areas as we shall not sit back as discrimination backdating many years back is perpetuated against our members. Your quick and prompt action is hereby called for,” Mr Wangonya Wangenye, Kethawa, National Secretary told the Nation.

Currently, the Civil Service, county governments and State Corporations have 16 areas designated as hardship, the teaching service has 44 while the Judiciary has 21.

TSC promotion 2021 list for Deputy Head Teacher II
