According to the Commission, teacher transfers are legal and in line with the provisions of the TSC code of regulations for teachers and the Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, signed by both TSC and teachers’ unions.

Through a memo dated February 26 memo and addressed to all Regional Directors, TSC seeks details of primary school head teachers and principals of secondary schools who have exited the teaching service. Also required are details for teachers who are currently working in their home counties and those who have stayed at their current stations for over nine years.
Those to be exempted from the transfers are teachers aged above 55 years. The delocalization exercise had been slowed down as a result of the Corona virus pandemic and prolonged closure of schools.
Regional directors have now been directed to capture the home county of the secondary school principals complete with details of their current station. Additionally, details on the size of the school, the sponsor of the institution, and the category of the school and enrolment data should also be collected.
The Commission kicked off the delocalization exercise in January, 2018. Other massive deployments would then follow in April, August and December of the same year. Though in April, 2019 the Commission slowed down the transfers as only a few administrators were moved.
