The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has ordered teachers to report back to their schools. According to TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia, all Primary and Secondary School teachers will be expected to report to their respective schools by Monday, September 28 to prepare for imminent re-opening.

“We have deliberated as a committee and we are therefore now asking our teachers to report back to schools on Monday September 28, 2020, to prepare for the eventual reopening of schools,” said Dr Macharia, while addressing the media at the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) on Monday.

“We will continue asking our teachers for their sacrifice, creativity, resilience and innovative sense they have had so that both learners and parents are assured of safety and syllabus coverage when schools do open….We wish to assure the country that our teachers are totally prepared and ready to help our children recover the lost time and save the academic year was that at risk of being lost. We know our teachers will do this and we ask all of you to support them.” Added the TSC Boss.

She was addressing the media moments after attending the education stakeholders’ meeting. The committee comprised of officials from the Ministry of Education, TSC, private schools, private schools, teachers’ unions, doctors’ union, school heads and religious leaders.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on his part said the decision on when to reopen schools will be made soon.

“We have not said schools are opening. We shall give you dates after appropriate government machinery has met,” said Prof Magoha while warning that schools have not been reopened for learners.

“It is not for me to give the date for the re-opening, I will table this report before a larger committee for a deliberation on the actual date for the resumption of schooling,” he added.

But, in what will be taken as a very clear indication of imminent reopening, the CS said it is high time that schools were reopened.

“We shall give appropriate dates for opening schools after appropriate Government machinery has gone through. I think it is about time to call our children back to school.” He said.

The teachers will be expected to prime schools before learners report back. Those that may have been destroyed by natural calamities like floods will have their kids transferred to neighbouring schools.

“The schools that have been destroyed or damaged, the children will be moved to other schools.” He explained.

TSC teachers disciplinary and determination process

October 5, 2025 Maverick John

Teacher interdiction and dismissal is real in Kenya! A number of teachers are disciplined by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for committing a number of offences that have been outlawed in the Code of Regulations for Teachers and the TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Teachers who violate the provisions of the Code of Regulations for Teachers and the TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics will face disciplinary action which may include warning or interdiction.

TSC Teacher Disciplinary Process

A Head of institution may initially issue a verbal warning or caution the teacher in writing on minor breaches.
In case of persistent misbehaviour, the teacher may be required to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against him/her.
From the teacher’s response, the head of institution may serve the teacher with a warning or present the case before the agent.

The agent shall;

Investigate and assemble relevant evidence.
Invite the accused teacher in writing to defend himself/herself against specified allegation.
Call witnesses to give evidence in the presence of the accused teacher.
Allow the teacher to cross-examine each witness.
In case of desertion where teacher’s whereabouts is unknown, the agent will interdict without any delay.

After the preliminary hearing the agent may reach any of the following decisions;

No case to answer.
Warn the teacher administratively.
Interdict the teacher.

NB: In some cases TSC or agent can interdict a teacher without inviting him/her for preliminary hearing.

An interdicted teacher should write a defense statement within 21 days from the date of interdiction and provide contact address. A case will normally be heard within three months after interdiction. In case of delay the teacher is advised to make enquiries.

Salary during interdiction

Teachers interdicted on cases of incitement, insubordination, infamous conduct and negligence of duty will be paid half salary during the period of interdiction.

After interdiction and submission of the required evidence the teacher shall be given a chance to defend himself/herself in person before the Commission. A case shall be heard and determined in the absence of the teacher if he/she fails to appear during the hearing. From the evidence gathered, the Commission may;

Revoke the interdiction.
Warn the teacher.
Suspend the teacher from duty.
Dismiss the teacher from service.
Retire the teacher in the public interest.
Dismiss and remove from the register of teachers.

It is an offence for a teacher to engage in teaching in any institutions (public or otherwise) during the period of interdiction or suspension or on removal from the registry of teachers.

Where a teacher has been suspended from duty, he/she will be posted 14 days before the expiry of the suspension.

A teacher will be posted immediately in cases of revocation and warning. A teacher who does not receive communication within 28 days after hearing should make enquiries to the Commission Headquarters in person.

The Commission may take disciplinary action against a teacher who commits any of the following offences:

Immoral behaviour, including but not restricted to:

Sexual intercourse
Sodomy
Lesbianism and
Sexual harrasment

Proffesional misconduct including but not restricted to:

Negligence of duty

TSC employment confirmation letter

October 5, 2025 Maverick John

If you are a newly employed TSC teacher, then you will be expected to work on probation before you are employed on permanent and pensionable terms. Probation usually takes a minimum period of six (6) months but can be longer than this.

The teacher’s effective date of employment is the first day you report to duty and a casualty is sent to the Commission such that your salary is processed. At the end of your probation period, you should apply to the Commission so as your terms of employment are changed.

The application for confirmation is done in writing through your Principal/ Head Teacher. This should be done a month before expiry of the probation period.

To apply, for confirmation of employment, you are supposed to fill the ‘application for confirmation of employment form‘ and which must be endorsed by the Principal/ Head Teacher. Four copies of this form are required. Details on this form include: Teacher’s name, TSC Number, Grade (entry grade), date of appointment, name of current institution and the teacher’s self assessment report.

The Principal/ Head Teacher’s comments are very vital as TSC gives them consideration before deciding on whether to offer you permanent terms.

WHY TSC MAY FAIL TO CONFIRM YOU ON PERMANENT AND PENSIONABLE BASIS.

Remember, TSC may fail to confirm you on permanent basis if your TPAD rating is deemed to be unsatisfactory. Confirmation may also be denied if you are found guilty of any of the following;

If you are absconding duty without express permission,
When you engage in unethical conduct such as but not limited to immoral behaviour, professional misconduct and being of infamous conduct as stipulated in the Code of Regulations for Teachers, CORT,
Disregarding orders from your bosses,
If your performance is not satisfactory and not in line with the relevant provisions of the Code of Regulations and Code of Conduct & Ethics for teachers.

These are only but a few of the reasons as to why the Commission may fail to confirm you. Remember, your employment may also be terminated during the probation period. Get full details here; TSC- A list of all offences that can lead to a teacher’s interdiction and the evidence required.

Once confirmed, TSC will send a confirmation letter that spells out your employment terms. At this juncture you qualify to get pension from the government but after serving for a minimum of ten (10) years or upon retirement.

Teachers to get free Covid 19 jabs, Comprehensive medical cover- TSC News

October 5, 2025 Maverick John

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced a new Covid 19 enhanced medical cover for all the teachers. This is in a bid to meet treatment costs for the tutors in case they contract the corona virus disease. The Commission has reached an agreement with the Medical cover provider (MINET-AoN).

In a press statement dated January 6, 2021, TSC Boss Dr.Nancy Macharia reported that the teachers’employer is working tirelessly with the Ministry of Health (MoH) to provide psycho-social support to teachers that are in need of the services, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Macharia restated that teachers who are 58 years and above, and those with serious underlying conditions are encouraged to work from home. She assured them that their jobs are secure.

“If you are not able to go to school, no one will sack you. Even before Covid-19, teachers fell sick and nobody would wish to make matters worse for teachers… We have directed our county and regional directors to advise and guide the teachers whenever they come to their officers for direction,” said TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia.

Teachers to get Covid 19 jabs

By Friday January 8,2021 about 92 Teachers had been placed under the Covid 19 home-based care Programme. Another 209 tutors had also been reportedly recovered under TSC’s COVID-19 medical insurance cover.

Meanwhile, teachers have been classified among the front-line workers and are set to receive the Covid-19 vaccine expected in the country in February this year. Health Chief Administrative Secretary Mercy Mwangangi reported that other professionals who will be given priority are health workers and police officers, as well as older citizens aged 58 and above.

“When the vaccine arrives, which is projected to be around end of February, teachers will be among the first beneficiaries because they are now front line workers,” Dr Mwangangi said on Thursday.

Teachers commended for the good job

The Commission has commended teachers for the good work they are doing.

“As we come to the end of the first week of the new school term, we trust that the back to school hustles are now over. The Commission salutes you for your sacrifice to tackle your work as we settle down to the new year’s learning and teaching activities.

We appreciate your continued observance of Covid-19 safety protocols and enforcing of the same on your learners as you shape their destiny. We will continue supporting you in this noble calling. Please don’t relent in this patriotic duty.” Says TSC Head of Corporate Communications, Beatrice Wababu

Wababu encourages teachers to put all their efforts into the tasks ahead of them so as to make up for lost time.

Schools reopened on January 4, 2021 for term three, 2020 (for form four, class 8 and grade 4 learners) while the rest of the learners will be in term two of 2020. Read more; School Term dates/ calendar for 2020 to 2023

School heads, County officials warned by TSC over irregularities in the recruitment of new teachers

October 5, 2025 Maverick John

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has issued a stern warning to school Principals against locking out some applicants in the ongoing teachers’ recruitment exercise. This is after it emerged that some applicants who had been shortlisted failed to receive invitations to the interviews.

In some schools less than five applicants were invited against a total of over 15 as per the TSC merit lists. The lists of shortlisted candidates for some schools are also conspicuously missing.

“It has been realized that some school heads collaborating with some Directors have converted the whole process (of recruitment) into personal business. The Commission has received complains from applicants for not accessing the merit lists for a number of schools,” says a note from the Commission.

The Commission has ordered the school heads, County and Sub County Directors to make the lists public and ensure that all shortlisted applicants are invited for interviews.

About 300,000 teachers submitted their applications to fill the advertised 11,000 vacancies in primary and secondary schools.

According to the released recruitment timelines, the County selection process and filling of application for employment forms by successful candidates will be done between Thursday October 8, 2020 and Wednesday October 14, 2020.
