TSC Effects Mass Transfers for Slightly Over 14,000 Teachers. 

As promised by the TSC Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nancy Macharia in December at least 14,000 teachers will begin the new term in new schools after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) approved their applications for regional and inter-regional transfers.

The upcoming TSC Transfers 2023 have been authorized by TSC CEO Nancy Macharia.

The approvals come before the lapsing of the deadline given to the TSC by the National Assembly’s committee on education to reverse the delocalization policy that saw teachers posted away from their homes. The transfers are welcome especially now that teachers are battling harsh economic times ushered in by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The reversal of the 2017 TSC Delocalization policy will see thousands of teachers reunited with their families after years of toiling in the cold.

The teachers have to report to their new stations before schools open on the 23rd of this month.

The change of guard in schools across the country is starting ahead of the opening of the first term of this academic year.

At Kamusinga High School, one principal gives way to another. While the new principal is getting the office in an acting capacity, other secondary schools will be receiving new principals by 16th January, that is next Monday.

TSC is undertaking mass transfers of teachers both at primary and secondary schools under the reversal of the delocalization policy that has been in existence since 2017.

In a circular seen by Citizen Digital, the commission’s Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia has instructed the commission’s secretary and all regional directors to facilitate the transfers of 14,613 teachers to new stations before the schools re-open on the 23rd of this month.

Of these, 10,934 transfers will affect primary school teachers, while 189 deputy head teachers will be transferred, and 1,948 head teachers will be changing stations.

Another 1,316 secondary school teachers and 226 principals will also be beneficiaries of the transfers.

The TSC had been given until the end of this month to allow teachers to serve in their own regions, a departure from the policy instituted by the commission that demanded that delocalized teachers serve at least three years in the Northern Eastern region, and five years in other regions before qualifying for a transfer.

A total of 12,019 transfers will be conducted at the regional level by the TSC regional directors, and 2,594 transfers will be inter-regional transfers effected from the national headquarters.

While moving the teachers, the officers both at the regional and national headquarters will consider age, gender, and health.
