TSC dismissal letters for teachers

Leave a comment

The worst news that a teacher can receive from the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is that on dismissal. You will be very unlucky if TSC decides to get you off the register and sends you a dismissal letter.

Committing serious TSC offences may land you in hot soup. However, dismissal of a teacher is not that easy because it must follow the due TSC discipline process.

When the Commission decides to dismiss you, your details will be gazetted and your name removed from the TSC register. You also lose all accrued benefits including pensions.

WHAT CAN LEAD TO DISMISSAL OF A TEACHER BY TSC?

A teacher may be removed from the Register if the teacher commits or engages in any of the following-

(a) immoral behavior with or towards a learner which may include but not limited to-
(i) sexual intercourse or sexual abuse;
(ii) sodomy;
(iii) lesbianism; and
(iv) sexual harassment or flirtation.

(b) obtains registration or employment or promotion through fraudulent means;
(c) is convicted of any sexual offence or an any other offence against learner or a fellow member of staff;
(d) is convicted of a criminal offence which, in the opinion of the Commission, renders a person unfit to be a teacherl
(e) forgery, impersonation, presenting forged documents to the Commission;
(f) mismanagement, misappropriation and embezzlement of public funds;
(g) theft of property belonging to an educational institution or
(h) incitement.

Below is a sample of a TSC dismissal letter;
