The Teachers service commission will deploy 1,000 teachers to teach in secondary school. The deployed teachers will start at job grade C2 and later move to C3 upon completion of three years as stipulated in Career Progression Guidelines.
The Commision in an advert said that all the Successful candidates under this category shall be appointed at T-Scale 7, Grade C2 under the Career Progression Guidelines for Teachers and shall be deployed to secondary schools where vacancies exist
The Commission advertised 1,000 deployment posts in July this year for practicing P1 certificate holders to apply.

The Commision TSC advertised 1,000 deployment posts in 2019 and another 1,000 in September last year and has finished issuing deployment letters for the the successful applicants.
TSC posted teachers with both Art and Science combinations to secondary schools.
Even if some teachers complained on the Commission criteria on deploying teachers TSC said deployment will be done based on availability of teaching vacancy.
On the other hand most teachers are still hopeful the Commission will lower grades and use less stringent terms to allow them teach in junior secondary schools.
TSC improved salaries of teachersin July 2021. The salary changes were as a result of a CBA signed between the Commission and teachers unions Knut, Kuppet and Kusnet.
After July 2021 a deployed teacher at C2 takes home shs 34,955 at minimum in basic pay and shs 43,694 at maximum.
These teachers will enjoy commuter allowance of shs 5,000 a house allowance of shs 7,500 for those who are not in any municipality and a leave allowance of shs 6,000 paid once yearly. Those in hardship areas enjoy hardship allowance of shs 10,900.
The teacher will then move automatically to Grade C3 after completing three years as outlined in CPG.
In C3 he will earn shs 43,154 basic pay at minimum and sh 53,943 at maximum.
The commission is currently facing huge teacher shortage. The Commission will require at least 36,000 new teachers to teach in junior secondary.
The commission announced that only high school teachers will be trained to handle Grade 7, 8 and 9 which are the junior secondary classes.
It equally said at least 60,000 high school teachers will, in March and April next year, be trained in preparation for the rollout of junior secondary.
Primary school teachers used to get automatic promotion after graduation in institutions of higher learning.
The teachers would receive acknowledgment letters which would be followed with changing of job group.
However this changed in 2014 after TSC stopped Schemes of Service and adopted Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) for teachers.
Most primary school teachers have been receiving acknowledgement letters but without any promotion.
The affected teachers include;
1) Diploma and Degree in Special Needs Education
2) Diploma and Degree in Early Childhood Development Education
3) Diploma and Degree in Education (Primary option)
4) Diploma in Education (Secondary option)
5) Degree in Education (Secondary option) but lacking C+ at KCSE or C+ in teaching subjects.
TSC is currently implementing Teacher Professional Development (TPD) as form of promoting teachers.
According to TSC teachers will be issued with a renewable teaching certificate after every five years.
Teachers will study 6 TPD modules for a period of 30 years. The modules are divided into chapters. Teachers will pay for the modules which cost sh 6,000 yearly
