The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) officials at the counties and sub counties are calling on teachers to apply for advertised teacher promotion jobs before deadline.
TSC has advertised 19,943 promotion vacancies for teachers from job group C1 to job group D4 after being allocated sh 1 billion by Treasury.
The Commission had on 17th December declared the slots through an advert and asked teachers to apply online.
TSC has invited teachers from primary to post primary institutions to apply online for the promotion vacancies.
TSC has given qualified teachers till the midnight of 30th December, 2024 to place an application.
The Commission asked teachers who had earlier applied for promotion in the Advert 1 to 4 of 2024 which run from 12th to 18th November, 2024 to apply.
However TSC says successful candidates must produce the five Chapter 6 documents before they are posted to schools where vacancies are available.
Chapter 6 of the constitution requires that persons working for the public sector, otherwise known as state officials, exhibit leadership and integrity.
As a result, employers need clearance certificates to confirm that the employee exhibits personal integrity, competence and suitability.
Below are the five documents that are mandatory inline with Chapter six of the Kenyan Constitution on ‘Leadership and Integrity’.
- Valid Certificate of Good Conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI)
- Clearance Certificate from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB)
- Tax Compliance Certificate from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)
- Clearance from Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC)
- A Clearance Certificate from an approved Credit Reference Bureau (CRB)
TSC scoresheet shows preference will be given to teachers based on their period of service, TPAD and age.
Teachers have however protested after TSC lowered the period for acting to six months which they say will be used for backdoor promotion of undeserving teachers.
TSC data shows at least 3,300 school heads and deputies are currently serving in acting capacities.
The commission plans to confirm the teachers and place them to their new roles starting January.
At least 3,359 public schools are lacking a head of institution. Data from TSC show that 1,918 primary schools lack a headteacher while 1,441 secondary schools lack a principal.
TSC blames shortage of teachers qualified to head schools as well as many new schools registered that creates more complication.
