The Kenya National Union of Post-Primary Teachers (KUPPET) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) have criticised the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for promoting only a limited number of teachers, falling short of their expectations and prior agreements.
Speaking at an event in Kericho over the weekend, KNUT's First National Vice Chairperson, Malel Lang'at, termed the promotion of 25,288 teachers as insufficient to address career stagnation and professional growth across the country.
Echoing his concerns, KUPPET's Kericho Branch Executive, Mary Rotich, stated that the union had anticipated at least 130,000 promotions, emphasising the need for more opportunities to support teachers' career advancement. ''We have many teachers who have qualified for promotion but the Teachers Service Commission is still sitting on the same.
Even the recent promotions where they claimed to have promoted the same,'' Lang'at stated.
