Knut, through its Secretary General Wilson Sossion, had pushed for promotions to be based on academic and professional qualifications.Mr Sossion said thousands of teachers had been stuck in one grade since 2014, even after attaining higher academic qualifications.

Ongaya ruled that TSC and Knut should review the prevailing schemes of service to align them with the Collective Bargaining Agreement structure, without breaching the code of regulations for teachers.

TSC suffered a setback when the court also ruled that head teachers and their deputies can be unionisable.Ongaya also stopped TSC from deploying teachers who are Knut officials to schools that are outside the geographical areas they represent.

  According to TSC, teachers who are interested in the promotions must make applications that are accompanied by a certificate of good conduct, clearance certificate by the Higher Education Loans Board, clearance from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, from Credit Reference Bureau and a Kenya Revenue Authority tax compliance certificate.
