Teachers employed by Teachers Service Commission, TSC are stratified into two major groups: those with administrative responsibilities administrators and those without- non-administrators or regular classroom teachers. The Commission has also come up with thirty-six (36) job titles technically referred to as grades for teachers.

The administrators’ group constitutes Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers, and Senior Teachers in primary schools as well as Principals, Deputy Principals, Senior Masters and Senior Lecturers in post-primary institutions (Secondary and Tertiary).

The remaining job titles comprise of teachers who are non-administrators. It is crucial to note that TSC promotions from a non-administrative grade to an administrative one requires at least three years.

For a teacher to get promoted from one administrative post to the next however, the case is different since such tutors have to be subjected to rigorous assessments through highly competitive interviews given the limited number of administrative posts within learning institutions.

Besides, teachers’ salaries are also pegged in the various grade/ job group. Those with administrative positions are ranked higher compared to regular classroom teachers without administrative responsibilities.

A teacher’s salary commensurate the responsibilities that s/he performs
