The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced the promotion of nearly 16,000 teachers this year based on career progression guidelines.
These promotions took regional balance, gender equity, and affirmative action into account for the country’s arid and semi-arid land counties.
The promoted teachers will fill the following positions in secondary schools: Deputy Principals I and II, Senior Master IV, Head Teachers, and Deputy Head Teachers II.
