The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) , has been chastised for allegedly failing to reveal all of the data about the criteria it employs to appoint teachers who ask for promotions to higher grades.
There were rumors that during the recently finished TSC promotions last year 2021, TSC may have overlooked all other variables and promoted teachers who applied for senior master and senior teacher posts only on the basis of length of service.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers, (KUPPET) , has been lobbying TSC to make teacher promotion to C4 in secondary schools-senior masters posts automatic, so that it can be classified as a common cadre grade. TSC, on the other hand, has stood firm.
