The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is responsible for monitoring and assigning duties to teachers who work with Kenyan children.
In 2018, the commission introduced three secondary school principals’ grades under the Career Progression Guidelines, under which TSC developed three secondary school principals’ promoting grades.
Principals are in charge of the school accounting officer as well as the overall operational administration of the institution.
They are also in charge of implementing and ensuring the institution’s educational plans, policies, programs, and curriculum activities.
