How the Head of Institution (Head Teacher, Principal) should approve teacher transfers online

TSC transfer application and approval online- Application for Teachers Service Commission (TSC) transfers are now purely done online. Both the teacher and Head of Institution (principal or Head Teacher) play a key role in ensuring the transfer request is submitted successfully to TSC.

  • Open your Email.
  • Click the email notification Link to proceed.
  • Enter your comments as the Head of Institution and Click the ‘Submit’ button

Option 2 Transfer Request Approval via the HOI portal

The transfer request approval can equally be done online. This can be done as outlined below;

TSC latest guidelines on handling of teachers affected by Alcoholism and Drug Abuse

Some teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) are greatly affected by addiction to alcoholism and drug abuse. This hinders their performance of duty. Such teachers may find themselves on the wrong side of the TSC Code of Conduct and Regulations. This includes but not limited to absenteeism.

Alcohol, Drug/Substance Abuse (ADA) contributes to conflict, indiscipline and loss of employees at the workplace. Lack of control of these negative habits has the potential of far reaching effects on the delivery of service and may undermine public confidence in the organization.

The Commission does not, though, victimize such teachers. Instead, teachers with such disorders have been covered in the latest TSC policy on well being of employees. This policy provides guidelines for the prevention and management of Alcohol and Substance Abuse in the Commission.

TSC Intervention measures against Alcohol and Drug Abuse

The Commission considers employees who have alcohol and substance disorder to be psychopathic persons with mental illness. The Commission has therefore adopted the following measures for prevention, management and mitigation of Alcohol and Drug Abuse:

  1. Prohibited the sale and use of alcohol and drugs in all workplaces.
  2. Ensured that employees with alcohol and drug related problems are helped to recover while receiving all services and benefits as stipulated in the Employment contract.
  3. Grants sick leave to all employees with ADA challenges twice within their employment term. Any additional seek leave days shall be granted on a case-by-case basis and at the discretion of the Commission.
  4. Displays and avails Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials about Alcohol, Drug and substance Abuse at all workplaces.
  5. Supports the formation of psycho-social support networks and encourage employees with ADA issues to join and benefit from the after-care programmes to avoid relapse.
  6. Continuously conducts sensitization programmes on alcohol and substance abuse for employees in all counties

Programmes for Alcohol and Drug Abuse

The Commission has undertaken the following programs to alleviate Alcohol and Drug Abuse at the work place.

  1. Established Psycho-social support networks in all counties to assist employees with ADA related challenges.
  2. Identification, assessment and referral of ADA clients for rehabilitation is always done.
  3. Provision of after-care services to ADA clients
  4. Conducts peer education, guidance and counseling programmes on ADA
  5. Established and strengthened of ADA desks in all TSC offices across the country.

In case you come across a teacher suffering from Alcohol, Drug/Substance Abuse (ADA), do not hesitate in informing the Commission through your head of institution. This will go a long way in assisting the teacher to recover from this devastating condition.

TSC to employ 37,000 new teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is lining up 37,000 new vacancies for teachers. Of this, 25,000 will be employed on permanent and pensionable basis while the remaining 12,000 are to be absorbed on internship in the next financial year (2021/2022).

While presenting the Commission’s policy statement to the National Assembly’s Education Committee, TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia said a total of Sh13 Billion will be required to hire the new teachers. Further details show that Sh10.75 billion will be required for employing the permanent teachers while the interns will need Sh2.4 billion.

According to Dr. Macharia this high number of teachers will be required to address teething staffing gaps as a result of double transition to secondary schools in 2023 under the new Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

“The current Grade four and standard six pupils will transit to junior secondary and form one, respectively, in 2023. This will lead to hire enrollment which will call for additional teachers.” Dr. Mcharia told the Legislators.

But, the Commission’s 2021/2022 budget has been slashed from the required Sh300.503 billion to Sh281.704 billion.

The Commission has at the same time advertised 1,550 vacancies to replace teachers who exited service through natural attrition (1,119 posts for primary schools and 431 posts for secondary schools).

How to apply

Interested and qualified candidates for secondary school vacancies should submit their applications online through the Commission’s website, www.tsc.go.ke under ‘Careers’ or teachersonline.tsc.go.ke not later than 8th March, 2021.

Primary school vacancies will be filled using the 2020/2021 Merit Lists generated in September 2020. Successful candidates will be informed by the County Directors of the counties where they were merited.

A teacher’s regret letter from TSC after filling the employment application form

Are you wondering on what will make a teacher to receive a regret letter from the TSC? Well. During the vetting process of newly recruited teachers, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, may reject the application for employment by a teacher. Such a teacher will then be served by a regret letter; detailing the reasons why his/ her employment application has been rejected by the Commission.

Successful applicants, though, get their employment letters. See more details here; TSC- Letter on offer of employment as a teacher; posting letter for newly employed teacher.

Interviews and selection of new teachers is a delegated function that is done at the TSC County levels. Once the exercise is completed the TSC County Director submits the following to the TSC Headquarters;

  • County Selection Panel minutes duly signed by the Chairperson and Secretary;
  • County merit list (Appendix IV). Both in soft (Excel) via ddstaffingp@gmail.com and hard copy;
  • List of all selected applicants drawn from the current merit list (Appendix V)
  • List of all the applicants who did not appear in the merit list (Appendix VIwith names of absent candidates during the certificate verification exercise;
  • Duly filled Application for Employment Forms (APPT I) for the selected applicants;
  • Original statement of confirmation of PTE/KCSE/KCPE results from KNEC for applicants without original certificates;
  • Certified copies of the following documents in the order indicated below: –
  1. National identification card;
  2. National Council of Persons with Disability (NCPWD) Card (where applicable);
  3. Two passport size photographs;
  4. KCPE Certificates;
  5. KCSE Certificates (include first attempt certificate if one repeated exams);
  6. PTE Certificate;
  • Primary and Secondary Schools and college leaving certificates and other testimonials;
  • KRA PIN certificate, Bank form and Bank plate to facilitate appointment on payroll.
  • Written commitment by the applicant to serve in any county posted to, for a minimum period of five (5) years, and three (3) years in case of North Eastern region;
  • Panel score sheet (Appendix Iboth in soft (excel) via ddstaffingp@gmail.com and hard copy for the selected applicants;

NB: Where names on submitted documents differ, the applicants will be required to submit a sworn affidavit.

WHY A NEW TEACHER MAY GET A REGRET LETTER FROM TSC.

Once the documents have been submitted to the TSC headquarter, a rigorous exercise is carried out that involves close scrutiny of the documents. This exercise takes many days, and this explains the reason (s) as to why appointment letters delay for up to a period of over three (3) months.

Here are some of the reasons why a teacher may get a regret letter from TSC:

  • If the teacher took lesser units in the teaching subjects at college. TSC requires that a teacher takes a minimum of eight (8) units for each of the teaching subjects.
  • Except for Technical subjects, in post primary institutions, the teaching subjects must appear in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate. For secondary school teachers, the minimum score for the teaching subjects is a C+ (plus).
  • If you got a mean grade of below a C+ (plus), for high school teachers, then count yourself unlucky. The Commission will have to reject your application for employment.
  • Your names should not conflict on your documents. In case of any disparities, it is necessary that you get a sworn affidavit.
  • Detected fraud; If the recruitment process was flawed at the County level and the ‘wrong’ applicant filled the TSC employment form, then the decision would be rescinded and the right candidate be employed.

These are just but some of the reasons that may make the Commission to reject a teacher’s application for employment.

TSC Salary Pay Point- Here is what you should know

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has issued an advisory to teachers on their Salary Accounts (Salary Pay points). The Commission has now warned teachers against hurried closure of their salary accounts.

Why teachers close their salary accounts.

Teachers often change their salary pay points for various reasons.

For many teachers, the major reason is to access credit from financial institutions that require them to open salary accounts with them first.

For others, it is a migration to banks and Saccos that have a wide network of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) or those whose debit cards are acceptable in many retail outlets such as supermarkets, hotels, petrol stations, hardware shops and so on.

Whenever you think of making a change, it is important to leave your old account open until your salary comes through the new account at least once. Depending on the time of the month, your request may arrive at TSC too late to be included in the current payroll.

This will cause you a lot of inconveniences because your salary will be posted to the account that you have just closed and the bank or Sacco will return it to TSC.

The financial institutions cannot channel your salary into a closed account even when it is clearly available in their system. Accounting regulations demand that such unapplied monies be returned back to sender.

What you should do in order to get your returned salary.

Should your salary be returned, the following are the events that will happen before the money gets back to you:

  • When doing their reconciliation, the Sacco or bank will discover this unapplied money.
  • The financial institution writes a cheque of the amount of your salary in favour of TSC and sends it to their headquarters.
  • The headquarters of this financial institution sends the cheque to TSC.
  • TSC banks this cheque and investigates the cause for return of salary.
  • Upon establishing closure of account as the reason for returned salary, the TSC writes to you requesting you to submit your current pay point details.
  • The current pay point details are captured on the payroll if you have not already submitted the request for change of account.
  • The returned salary is released to your new account.
  • If you don’t notice quickly that you haven’t been paid and consequently delay in taking action, the return salary cycles can go on for several months with your pay accumulating at TSC.

Clearly, it is advisable to always leave your old account open until your salary comes through the new one at least once. Also be proactive by filling the change of pay point form and attaching a certified copy each of your bank plate, ID card and latest pay slip and ensuring that these reach TSC.

Do not leave these with documents with your bank or Sacco for them to forward to TSC. This way, you will avoid the inconveniences of this lengthy process of releasing a returned salary to you.
