The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has continued to issue ‘show cause’ letters to a number of Heads of Institutions (HOI) who failed to update their Teacher Management Information System (TMIS).
The school heads must give satisfactory reasons why their TMIS details are still pending and when are they going to be done.
According to the Commission school heads must keep their TMIS data upto date each school term by ensuring both teacher records and learner enrolment are updated.
However a number of school heads did not update their TMIS records last term which made TSC to issue show cause letters demanding for reasons for the undone assignment.
The Commission generated a list containing details of the teachers who are have not been captured on TMIS.
The lists which contained the name of the teacher, his/her ID number, age, gender, county, sub county, school TSC code and school name.
So far a number of school heads have already complied by updating their TMIS details and adding teachers who are missing on the online portal.
TSC uses TMIS data in day to day teacher management tasks. Its also through the TMIS registration that the Commission can send teachers bulk SMS services.
Through the TMIS the Commission is able to know the school enrolment details and such data is useful especially when working out teacher transfers and staff balancing.
Teachers are also able to be added to the Teacher Performance Appraisal System (TPAD) through the TMIS portal and their TPAD details transferred from school to school through the system.
TSC also uses TMIS to know the number of teachers in a school who have gone to further their studies.
