The Teachers Service Commission (TSC), led by its Chief Executive Officer, Nancy Macharia, has been given seven days to explain the promotion of over 25,000 teachers. Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Education on Tuesday morning, Macharia and other senior TSC officials were at pains to explain the criteria used in promoting thousands of teachers across the country.
During the grilling session at the Bunge Towers, the lawmakers, led by Tinderet Member of Parliament Julius Melly, demanded to know why most teachers were stuck in the same job grade for years with no clear career progression.
The legislator also questioned why most regions received almost the same number of promotions despite varying teacher performances and staffing needs.
