A total of 38,000 diploma holders teaching in secondary schools will from next week battle it out for promotions.
This is after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education (Kuppet) resolved Thursday to have the vacancies advertised by Tuesday so that the affected teachers can be promoted.
JOB GRADES
Kuppet said TSC will determine the number of teachers to be promoted based on duration of service, vacancies and qualifications.
The teachers who mostly fall in Job Group K now (Grade C2) and Job Group J (Grade C1) were not promoted alongside others when the Collective bargaining agreement (CBA) 2017-2021 came into effect on July 1.
A total of 29,782 teachers fall in C1 (Primary teacher I and secondary teachers II) while 19,439 fall in C2 (secondary teacher II and secondary teacher UT and Primary special need education teacher).
“This is a good gesture by TSC as it will motivate these teachers who had been ignored for long,” said Kuppet secretary-general Akelo Misori after the meeting where he was accompanied by chairman Omboko Milemba.
TSC chief executive officer Nancy Macharia and chairperson Lydia Nzomo led commission team in the meeting yesterday.
This week, TSC announced that it will promote some 6,043 tutors who fall in Grade C5 and C4 to positions of head teacher and deputy head teacher.

Teachers deserve good working conditions. Resources to give Thier best.
Why divide teachers on union lines
Imagine you used money to add value to yourself then you are denied promotion and those who have not added anything to their p1 certificates earns more How would you feel?
Is it fair?
Is it logic for P1, Diplomas and Degree holders to earn same salary?
If this happens in Education what is the employer telling the employees ?
TSC has made advertisement for graduate practicing p1 teachers to apply for promotion to high school please try your luck
Are diploma teachers in primary who kuppet members also legible for the promotion?
YES why not they are part of the deal
What of p1 teachers who did diploma and fall under kuppet what will their fate be.
As long as you’re a Kuppet member with diploma you will be considered for promotion
