The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced plans to develop promotion guidelines that will clearly outline standardised criteria and procedures.
TSC Secretary Nancy Macharia, informed the National Assembly Committee on Education that the new framework would ensure a fair, transparent, and accountable promotion process.
This announcement follows concerns over the recent promotion of 5,291 teachers who had not served the mandatory three years in their current grades, as stipulated in the Career Progression Guidelines.
Dr Macharia explained that the three-year requirement had been waived in some cases to promote fairness and address historical staffing challenges, including acting appointments and underrepresentation in marginalised regions.
