<p><span style="text-transform: initial;">The latest TSC Promotions news reaching us now indicate that TSC Boss and other big wigs in the Commission will be obliged to explain why some of the promotions of teachers have not been dealt with once she heeds the summon.</span></p>
<h2><strong>HOW DO TEACHERS GET PROMOTED BY THE <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/">TSC</a>?</strong></h2>
<p>Promotion of teachers by TSC is based on existing schemes of Service i.e the TSC Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) and/ or the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs).</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The Commission shall in promoting a teacher, consider the Appraisal Reports (Teachers Performance and Appraisal Development TPAD) submitted on termly basis.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Promotion of teachers is done in three different ways:</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Promotion on common cadre establishment</strong></p>
<p>Promotion through Teacher Proficiency Course (TPC)</p>
<p>Promotion through competitive selection</p>
<p>Promotion on common cadre establishment</p>
<p>This applies to a category of teachers who may move from one job group to another without the need for a competitive selection process or availability of vacancies, provided they meet the minimum qualifications for the grade.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>This involves teachers in Job Group J (C1), K (C2) and L (C3). Promotion from Job Group J to K and K to L is done after three years satisfactory performance.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>To get the common cadre promotion, all you need to do is to fill the TSC promotion form.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Read more news on the new teachers’ job groups, qualifications and responsibilities here.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In considering the promotion of a teacher under the common cadre establishment, TSC considers the following minimum conditions:</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>period of time served by the teacher in a given grade (Usually 3 years);</p>
<p>validity of the teachers’ teaching certificate; and</p>
<p>the teacher’s performance of duty.</p>
<p>Promotion through Teacher Proficiency Course (TPC)</p>
<p>This type of TSC promotion covers non-graduate teachers in Job Groups G (B5) and H (C1), who must undertake a Teacher Proficiency Course. This has since become defunct.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Promotion through competitive selection</strong></p>
<p>Promotion of teachers to Job Groups M (C4), N (C5), P (D1), Q (D2) and R (D3) is done through competitive selection. The Commission usually advertises for these vacancies after some time (subject to availability of funds). Interested and qualified applicants are then supposed to apply through the TSC online portal.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Shortlisting of applicants is done at the TSC headquarters. Names of shortlisted candidates for Job Groups M and N and guidelines are then forwarded to County Directors and Regional Coordinators who conduct the interviews at the county and Regional Levels; respectively.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In the latest TSC guidelines, appointment and deployment of of all primary school institutional administrators and all institutional administrators for county, sub county and day (secondary) schools are to be coordinated by the Regional Coordinator.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The regional selection panel shall have the regional director (who shall be the chair), the host county director (secretary), the host county Human Resource Officer and all other county directors from the region.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Similarly, the county selection committee shall be composed of: the county director (chairperson), host sub county director (secretary), the county Human Resource Officer and all other sub county directors from the county.</p>

<h6>Teachers should note that the CBA 2021-2025 enumerated the areas below as the official ASAL And Hard to staff areas:</h6>

<h6>While congratulating TSC after signing the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General, Collins Oyuu, clarified that what TSC had done is to list the hard-to-staff areas and maintained that they were putting administrators on acting capacity regardless of their grade. These teachers are to serve in these administrative ranks in the hard-to-staff areas until they attain their respective grades for eventual confirmation.</h6>
<h6>&#8220;Those areas are hardship but hard to staff, meaning, even positions of headteachers and their deputy counterparts often lack interested candidates, while those present are not qualified for those positions in terms of what we have in the CBA&#8221;, Oyuu observed.</h6>
<h6>Oyuu later added that these teachers were promoted to act in those positions because those areas were hard to staff and nobody was willing to go there. He further said that TSC was looking at the interest individual teachers had in line with serving under the acting capacity of administration in those areas until when the teacher attains the full grade of administration for full confirmation of the position the teacher was acting before.</h6>

TSC Teachers Pay Back as they Reap Big By Having their Own in Parliament
<h1><strong><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/">TSC</a> Teachers Pay Back as they Reap Big By Having their Own in Parliament</strong></h1>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-11894" src="https://newspro.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/images-2021-06-04T083410.693-325x230.jpeg" alt="TSC Teachers Pay Back as they Reap Big By Having their Own in Parliament" width="325" height="230" /></strong></p>
<p><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC News Today</strong></a>: <strong>Teachers employed and Current serving on the newly introduced career progression guidelines rolled out by the Teachers Service Commission in 2017 have for over a long time had reason to smile today after details emerged about how their seemingly oppressive employer was humiliated in parliamentary sittings this week</strong>.</p>
<p>According to the Saturday Nation, the Teachers Service Commission has been accused of infringing on <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC</strong></a> teacher&#8217;s rights by forcing them to enroll, undertake and pay for the &#8220;mandatory&#8221; <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC TPD Training</strong></a> Modules without their consent.</p>
<p>According to verified reports at our disposal this morning, the Busia Member of Parliament Dr. Florence Mutual took to the stage to back up Akelo Misori&#8217;s proposal requesting for the suspension of the mandatory TSC TPD Modules that were meant to last a lifetime especially for newly recruited teachers. According to the honourable members of the national assembly, the roll out the TSC TPD modules is a duplication of in-service trainings for teachers.</p>
<p>Members of Parliament feel that it is better to have TPD incorporated into other TSC in-service training for teachers that are conducted from time to time to avoid burdening the ex-chequer which may be forced to allocate extra funds for the training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Besides, the cost of training is way to high for teachers who are currently paid a pittance in the name of salary. The training requires up to 30, 000 Kes. Given that teachers have not received any increment in the new 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, it will be tricky for them to raise extra funds for the TPD training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The Teachers Service Commission also needs to appreciate the fact that teachers are human beings with various financial burdens to shoulder. Therefore, most of them have committed their salaries already.</p>
<h2><strong>Akelo Misori Tramples on TSC TPD Modules</strong></h2>
<p>Teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission are a lucky lot to have one of their own representing them in the August house for the last five years.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>A look at the perfomance of KUPPET national chairman honorable Omboko Milemba who is also MP for Emuhaya, nominated MP wilson sossion and Bungoma women representative Ms Wambilianga reveals a job well done.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>First, it&#8217;s Omboko Milemba who pettitioned Parliament through education committee to stop TSC from implementing the Controversial TPD which would have seen teachers losing Ksh 6000 towards the modules</strong>.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>A move by Parliament to stop the Commission from implementing the refresher courses earlier this month was a great win for Teachers of Kenya.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In their Decision, the MPs asked TSC to undertake public participation first before rolling out the training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Besides, the commission was asked to pay for the modules instead of overburdening the poor Teachers</strong>.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Two, nominated MP Wilson Sosion is also on record pettitioning Parliament to look into TSC&#8217;s decision to stop promoting teachers who have gone for further studies.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>If his prayers are granted by the MPs, TSC will be forced to start promoting teachers with higher qualifications which will be a big win to them as it will come with higher salaries.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Currently, the union leaders are pushing the government to re-look into the non-monetary CBA which was signed last year with a view to increasibg the salaries of lowly paid teachers.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Do you think union leaders are representing tutors better now that they are MPs? Feel free to share your thoughts and comments on this on our comments platform.</p>

<h3><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC News Today</strong></a>: Considering the insurmountable damage that may arise from the <strong>planned disruption and possible Postponement of the March/April 2022 KCSE and KCPE national exams, the Teachers Service Commission has weighed in on the looming TSC teachers strike. This follows an official strike notice issued by the teachers&#8217; giant union, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET bordering on matters salary rise and promotions of teachers with higher qualifications.</strong></h3>
<p>KUPPET has pointed a finger at the TSC for failing to honour it&#8217;s request for <strong>fresh negotiations on the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.</strong></p>
<h1><strong>Below is the official <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/">TSC</a> Response on the 2022 TSC Teachers&#8217; Strike</strong></h1>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>TSC urges KUPPET to reconsider strike action over 2021-2025 CBA </strong></p>
<p><span style="text-transform: initial;"> The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has urged members of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) to reconsider its plans to down tools over the failure by the commission to review the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement.</span></p>
<p>TSC cited “national interests” as justification for its decision.</p>
<p>In a letter addressed to KUPPET’s Secretary General Akello Misori, TSC said an industrial action would disrupt learning in the country and upcoming national examinations.</p>
<p>“As intimated in our letter of 20/1/2022, the Commission is currently consulting with the relevant government agencies before reverting to the Union with its clear position to pave way for bipartite negotiations,” TSC lawyer Calvin Anyuor said.</p>
<p>He added that all stakeholders needed to focus on the national exams set to commence in March to enable what he termed as a “seamless transition.”</p>
<p>“Any activity which may disrupt learning should be avoided at all costs,” he said.</p>
<p>He noted that the 2022 academic year is delicate with two national examinations slated for April and November respectively.</p>
<p>Assessments for grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 are also scheduled to take place during the year.</p>
<p>Anyuor said that the move was hasty and unjustified.</p>
<p>“The Commission regrets the tone of your letter and the threat to industrial action at this early stage. It is our very considered view that the same is not only premature but also unwarranted,” he said.</p>
<p>KUPPET Secretary General had written to the commission two days ago urging them to review the CBA owing to what he termed strong economic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p>The Union expressed uncertainty about the possibility of their members getting their salaries reviewed.</p>
<p>“In light of this, the union is left with no option but to convene our organs to explore all avenues open to us in the quest for our members’ legitimate interests. As the Commission is well aware, the consequences of the remaining options may be dire,” KUPPET’s Secretary General Akello Misori said in a letter dated February 22.</p>

<h1><strong><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/">TSC</a> Petitioned Over Failure to Promote More Than 30,000 Teachers Since 2014</strong></h1>
<h4><strong><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/">TSC Promotions News Today 2022-2023</a>: TSC Tasked To Explain Why It Has Failed To Promote More Than 30,000 Teachers Since 2014</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>Why TSC Has Failed To Promote More Than 30,000 Teachers Since 2014</strong></h4>
<p> ;</p>
<h5><strong>The latest TSC promotion news today reveal the latest development on matters TSC Promotions in Kenya. The latest details seen by our media team revealed that over 30,000 teachers have not been promoted by their employer- the Teachers Service Commission since 2014.</strong></h5>
<p> ;</p>
<p>This piece of crucial information became public after nominated and deregistered Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Member of Parliament Wilson Sossion presented a petition to the parliamentary Education and Research Committee on Tuesday, February 22.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Sossion’s petition required the Teachers Service Commission Boss Dr.Nancy Macharia to offer an explanation as to why teachers who had sacrificed their resources and time to earn degrees and diplomas while still on the job were not yet promoted as per the current Career Progression Guidelines, CPGs.</p>
<p>The outspoken legislator and former teacher&#8217;s petition aimed at convincing <strong>TSC to revise their policies to allow for the promotion of teachers</strong> who successfully complete further studies thus earning <strong>higher qualifications</strong> from recognized institutions.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In response to the petition, committee chair Busia MP Florence Mutua stated that the petition raised important issues that needed to be discussed and addressed as soon as possible.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“<strong>As a committee, we have supported the petition and agreed to invite the TSC to shed light on the issues raised. We have also agreed to urgently hear the petition and ensure we capture the cash needed to implement this in the next budget,” Mutua stated.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Sossion’s petition was also signed by teachers Martha Omollo, Eva Muchemi, and Salvin Munene, who have been enjoined in the case since 2014, seeking answers as to why. TSC has unilaterally refused to recognize in-service teachers’ diplomas, undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate degrees from accredited institutions of higher learning.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<h4><strong>TSC Tasked To Explain Why It Has Failed To Promote More Than 30,000 Teachers Since 2014</strong></h4>
<p>“That in the interest of self-improvement, many teachers have progressively advanced their qualifications by pursuing and successfully earning high qualifications, ranging from diplomas, bachelors, masters and even doctoral degrees,” read the petition.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The current promotion scheme was implemented in 2015, after the commission abandoned the previous one, which was based on academic achievement. TSC then implemented the Career Progression Guidelines (CPGs), which focus on teachers’ performance in order to promote them.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>“Your humble petitioners pray that this House, through the departmental Committee on Education and Research intervenes in the matter,” read the petition.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Since then, the committee has summoned TSC officials to discuss the issue of advancement among teachers who have advanced their qualifications.</p>
<p>According to existing data from the TSC career progression portal, all 30,000 teachers who have not been promoted have earned higher degrees and diplomas.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>This comes just a day after TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia announced, via their official social media page, that manual replacement of lost registration certificates for teachers would be prohibited in order to improve efficiency.</p>

TSC Promotions Latest News: Teachers To Undergo Refresher Courses (TPD) For Promotion, Career Growth, TPD Modules 2021-2025

<h4><strong>TSC Promotions Latest News: Teachers To Undergo Refresher Courses (TPD) For Promotion, Career Growth, TPD Modules 2021-2025</strong></h4>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12016" src="https://newspro.co.ke/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/tsc-696x348-1-325x163.jpg" alt="TSC Promotions Latest News: Teachers To Undergo Refresher Courses (TPD) For Promotion, Career Growth, TPD Modules 2021-2025" width="325" height="163" /></p>
<h4><strong>The Teaching sector is priming itself for major changes following the implementation of the Career Progression Guidelines, CPGs to replace the former Schemes of Service.</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>Now that the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT is in favour of the new career progression guidelines following the change of leadership, all teachers employed by the Commission will be forced to undertake refresher courses dubbed TPD modules if they are eyeing any TSC promotions. Here are the latest details;</strong></h4>
<h4><strong>All TSC Teachers To Undergo Refresher Courses (TPD) For Promotion, Career Growth</strong></h4>
<p><span style="text-transform: initial;">All teachers employed by the commission will now have to take refresher course that will form basis of their promotion and career growth.</span></p>
<p>Introduction of these courses will undoubtedly mark an end to the old Schemes of Service that led to automatic progressions for common cadre teachers.</p>
<p><strong>TSC TPD Modules Targets the following Teachers</strong></p>
<p>According to a report by The Standard, these refresher courses christened Teacher Professional Development (TPD) modules, shall be modular based training programmes for all the 340,000 teachers under government payroll.</p>
<p>Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has noted that technology will play a pivotal role in the delivery of the TPD will be based on Modular Approach. TPD will address Pedagogy and Content Knowledge (PACK) among other aspects/components in line with the approved Curriculum.</p>
<p>TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia said the ultimate objective of the TPD programme is to continuously develop and improve teachers’ skills, competencies and knowledge in line with the 21st Century core competencies aimed at enhancing the provision of quality education.</p>
<p>“The TPD programme targets to benefit all registered teachers in public and private primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in Kenya,” said Dr Nancy Macharia.</p>
<p>TPD programme will be organised in such a manner that each classroom teacher, primary school headteachers or high school principals and their deputies will be required to undertake at least one module per year.</p>
<p><strong>TSC Teachers&#8217; TPD Modules Full Details </strong></p>
<p>For teachers, their modules shall include professionalism, pedagogy, Competence-Based Curriculum and Assessment, inclusive education practices, Comprehensive School Health and Safety, Instructional Leadership and Financial Literacy Skills.</p>
<p>Modules for heads of institutions shall include professionalism, Competence Based Curriculum and Assessment, leadership in high-quality instruction and assessment, professional learning environment, building a positive inclusive learning environment, comprehensive school health and financial literacy skills.</p>
<p>Teachers will be expected to undertake at least five modules during their teaching career and this is what will guide their career growth.</p>
<p>The move comes after TSC and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) on Tuesday reached an agreement to end the four-year stalemate that hindered the implementation of the Teacher Professional Development (TPD) modules.</p>
<p>The harmony reached between the commission and Knut now gives the employer opportunity to start the training program and also implement career progression guidelines, which were the bone of contention between it and the union.</p>
<p><strong>TSC is now at liberty to sign a contract with training institutions to offer the Teacher Professional Development (TPD) programme.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<h4><strong>List of Universities Offering TPD Modules </strong></h4>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Kenyatta University, Riara University, Mount Kenya University and the Kenya Education Management Institute (KMEI) were picked by TSC to train the teachers.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-transform: initial;"> </span></p>
