The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has slammed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for failing to secure promotions for teachers who have served in a single job group for over a decade.
In a statement on Monday, August 11, KUPPET Secretary General Akello Misori claimed that the service should emulate the National Police Service (NPS), which has recently announced automatic promotion for police officers who have served in a job group for a long time.
Akello claims that the commission should ensure that these teachers are automatically promoted without interviews or through advertised vacancies, since they are already qualified for the job. "We commend the National Police Service for announcing promotions for police officers who have been stuck in a single job group for more than 10 years.
Under the policy by the service, the service will see the promotion of police officers without the declaration of vacancies or interviews," Akello said.
