TSC to move teachers in April

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is gearing up for massive teacher transfers in April this year. The Commission will be targeting Principals in County and Sub-County schools plus primary school head teachers.

Those to be moved are administrators who have overstayed in the same station for nine years and above. Also targeted are teachers working in their home counties.

The Commission’s Deputy Director in charge of staffing Dorothy Owuor through a circular dated February 26 asks all regional directors to prepare a list of school administrators who have overstayed and those working in their home counties.

“This information should reach this office on or before 4th March 2021.” She directs.

“Schools to be filled by the newly appointed Principals in Grade D3 to be left vacant.” She adds.

Those to be exempted from the transfers are teachers aged above 55 years. The delocalization exercise had been slowed down as a result of the Corona virus pandemic and prolonged closure of schools.

The Commission kicked off the delocalization exercise in January, 2018. Other massive deployments would then follow in April, August and December of the same year. Though in April, 2019 the Commission slowed down the transfers as only a few administrators were moved.

The exercise has seen the execution of transfers for thousands of long serving principals and school heads; with some supporting and others opposed to the delocalization policy. A number of school administrators moved, so far, were those serving in their homes.

Others had also served in the same stations for a long time. Targeted administrators were mostly transferred to other counties and in some instances different regions.

Deployment of school administrators

The Commission is currently compiling lists of successful candidates in the just concluded promotions interviews. The interviews were carried out between February 8 and 19, 2021 at designated TSC County offices countrywide. Apart from increased perks, some of the candidates will be deployed to administrative positions.

The responsibility of appointing all primary school and secondary schools’ administrators (apart from extra county and national schools) has since been decentralized to the counties and regional offices.

It is the sole responsibility of the Regional Director (RD) to select, appoint and deploy successful candidates. This shall be done in liaison with the respective county directors. A merit list and copies of appointment letters are then be sent to the head quarter (addressed to the Secretary TSC) by the RD.

It is important to note that the appointment and deployment of the principals of extra county and national secondary schools is done at the head quarter by the Director in charge of staffing.

These new changes to deployment process took effect from February 13, 2020.

TSC to transfer heads and deputies in mixed schools

Leave a comment

TSC LATEST NEWS TODAY- The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is planning a major shake up in schools’ administration after this year’s national examinations. This is after the Commission adopted a new policy that will govern deployment of administrators. According to the new policy, principals and deputies of mixed schools are not supposed to be of the same gender.

TSC Boss, Dr. Nancy Macharia, has directed all the TSC Regional Directors implement the policy that is aimed at fostering inclusivity in public schools. She directs regional directors are to liaise with the county directors who are to identify mixed schools that have heads and deputies of same gender and subsequently place the deputies appropriately after the national examinations.

“Identification and deployment of institutional administrators is premised on career progression guidelines and the policy on appointment and deployment of institutional administrators (2017). The process is underpinned on values and principles of governance which include but not limited to: equity, equality, inclusiveness, non-discrimination and affirmative action,” Macharia says in a circular addressed to all Regional TSC Directors.

Mixed schools with Principals who both are of the same gender will see one of them getting the marching orders. Macharia wants the list of the heads and deputies sent to her before April 30 once the placement is completed. This will lead to massive transfers of the affected administrators; mostly deputies.

Implementation of this new policy follows the commission’s research findings that showed a majority of the mixed schools in the country having heads and deputies of the same gender.

Macharia says a scenario where both heads and deputies are of the same gender leads to unprecedented gender imbalances in the learning institutions.

“The scenario neither fosters gender-inclusive learning environment nor provides a supportive atmosphere for all learners…Accordingly, to ensure a supportive learning environment for learners of both gender the commission’s policy is to appoint and deploy administrators of applicable gender to head and deputise learning institutions,” notes Dr.Macharia.

This policy will supplement the contentious delocalization exercise that has seen thousands of heads and their deputies moved away from home counties.

TSC Has Started the Transfer of The Following County and Regional Directors

Leave a comment

TSC Has Started the Transfer of The Following County and Regional Directors

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has initiated yet another round of transfers for senior leadership impacting certain county and regional directors.

This is part of a comprehensive TSC strategy to enhance leadership and improve service delivery within Kenya’s education sector.

In the latest reshuffle, three county directors and one regional director have been reassigned.

Mr. John Otieno has been relocated from Nairobi County to Mombasa County, while Ms. Grace Mwangi will now be serving in Kisumu County, having previously been assigned to Nakuru County.

Mr. Peter Kamau has shifted from Machakos to Kiambu County.

Affected by this regional transfer, Mrs. Sarah Abdi will now be transitioning from the Eastern Region to the Rift Valley Region.

The transfers take effect immediately, and all impacted officers are expected to report to their new duty stations within twenty-one days.

TSC spokesperson Beatrice Wababu stated that the reasoning behind the changes was to introduce new ideas, distribute leadership experiences, eliminate performance challenges, and prevent stagnation.

Wababu emphasized that frequent staff rotation boosts efficiency and fosters national cohesion in the education sector.

The reshuffle is set to create a significant change in the everyday administration of education at local levels.

School administrators will need to learn and adapt to various leadership and supervisory styles, and teachers will have to manage different approaches to transfers, promotions, and disciplinary issues.

Moreover, the new leadership may prompt changes in curriculum implementation and professional development policies.

Reactions among stakeholders were varied.

While the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) welcomed the changes, they urged the TSC to ensure that ongoing activities remain uninterrupted.

Secretariat Akelo Misori highlighted the importance of minimizing disruption to critical programmes.

On the other hand, Collins Oyuu, chairman of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), insisted that transfers should consider the family welfare of relocated officers and strongly cautioned against using transfers as a form of punishment.

These strategic transfers initiated by TSC are a testament to its dedication to improving leadership in education and consequently bolstering governance and service delivery throughout the entire education system of the country.

TSC to roll out mass teacher transfers

Leave a comment

As teachers proceed to the April holiday most of them will be waiting with bathed breaths as their employer is expected to roll out massive transfers. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced that there shall be a major shake up administration of public schools; mostly mixed ones.

A new policy adopted by the Commission is seeking to reorganize placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender.

“In its efforts to promote gender mainstreaming and equity, TSC is reorganizing placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender. This is among a raft of measures taken by the Commission to conform to the requirements of the Constitution on inclusiveness, equity, equality, non- discrimination and affirmative action.” Says the Commission.

This comes a week after the International Women’s Day when Dr Nancy Macharia said that the Commission has put measures in place to ensure that it conforms with the constitution on the inclusion of both genders in leadership positions. This move is expected to foster a gender inclusive learning environment in public schools.

Already, TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia has directed all the TSC Regional Directors to implement the policy that is aimed at fostering inclusivity in public schools. She directs regional directors are to liaise with the county directors who are to identify mixed schools that have heads and deputies of same gender and subsequently place the deputies appropriately after the national examinations.
