TSC demotions, Salary Recoveries underway as Commission detects foul play in 2017 TSC promotions for school administrators
The Teachers Service Commission, TSC has ordered a recount of all primary and secondary school administrators before the June 30, 2020 deadline.
This is after the Commission discovered foul play in the manner in which some TSC promotions were conducted in 2017.
According to TSC data, some school administrators especially those in primary schools were erroneously promoted to senior ranks prompting irregular conversations in their T-Scales.
TSC Demotions 2020
Now that the Commission has directed a fresh recount of all school administrators in Kenya, tutors whose promotions were irregular should brace for tougher times ahead.
It is obvious that TSC demotions are now imminent. The worst part of it all is the fact that some of these teachers had already gotten used to the sedentary lifestyle that comes with the higher salary perks.
Higher salaries
This shocking revelation comes barely three weeks to the implementation of the last phase of the Central Bargaining Agreement, CBA that is scheduled to take place in July 2020.
This final phase of the 54 billion CBA will see over 100, 000 school administrators enjoy higher salaries.
TSC CBA for regular classroom Teachers was implemented in two phases only.
TSC TO RECOVER SALARIES IRREGULARLY PAID TO TEACHERS
Given the sensitive nature of this matter, all TSC County directors of education have now been directed to conduct a fresh recount of all school administrators and present the data before June 30, 2020.
The Commission is also planning to recover hefty salaries paid to these teachers starting July.
