The TSC is set to delocalize school heads and other school administrators in November/ December, 2019.
In June 2019, the Teachers Service Commission directed all county Directors to collect data on school administrators in readiness for the transfers.
This was done through a memo dated 27th June, 2019 by Dr Dorothy Owuor, the TSC Deputy Director in charge of Staffing.
The Teachers Service Commission is consequently analyzing data for principals serving within their home counties and those who have served in the same school for over nine years.

NO DELOCALIZATION
Dr Nancy Macharia, the TSC Chief Executive Officer, has confirmed that teachers with medical conditions will not be affected by the delocalization process.
Teachers who have attained the age of 56 years will also be spared.
According to private sources, the TSC is finalizing the transfer letters for the heads who have been affected by the exercise.
The letters will be dispatched in late November or early December.
THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE DELOCALIZATION PROCESS
According to the TSC, delocalization is being undertaken due to the following reasons:
1. To fill the slots of principals and heads who have attained the mandatory retirement age. This means deputy principals and deputy heads with the required qualifications and outstanding performance will be promoted and transferred to their new stations of work. Some principals have also been transferred to fill the vacancies left to better performance and utilize the experience they have garnered in their new work stations.
2. To strengthen management in some learning institutions as per the recommendations of the standards and assessment reports.
3. To implement the policy which regulates the appointment of institutional administrators. According to the policy, administrators who have served for too long should be transferred to enable the new work stations tap into their wide experience.
NEW DELOCALIZATION DATES
The Teachers Service Commission in April transferred few school administrators to avoid disruption of curriculum implementation.
The Commission now prefers delocalizing Administrators in December as opposed to August and April to facilitate a smooth transition and reduce disruptions.
KNUT has vehemently opposed the massive delocalization exercise saying it should be carried out with some bit of humanity.
