The Commission has already compiled and dispatched lists of successful applicants who have been shortlisted to fill the 1,000 slots available for diploma teachers in 2021 to their respective counties now that all Applications are done online.

TSC promotions for diploma teachers 2021- revised dates
Many of the affected teachers had already reported to the designated Knec marking centres in Nairobi only for them to receive invitations for the interviews, issued on a very short notice.
Following many complaints, the union conducted a survey among the examiners to establish the depth of this problem.
Indeed, many examiners were having torrid times trying to decide wether to shun the marking exercise and attend the interviews or not.
“In the circumstances, we urge the Commission to immediately call off the interviews slated for this month and conduct the same in May or on any convenient dates after the marking of the KCSE exams.” Reads a demand letter from Kuppet Secretary General Akello Misori.
