Following interviews conducted by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) last month, some 1,963 teachers have been promoted.
The promoted teachers will fill positions ranging from Grade C2-TSC Scale 7 (Senior Teacher II) to Grade D5 TSC Scale 15. (Chief Principal).
According to TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia, approximately 1,040 teachers will be promoted under this category.
Another 923 teachers will be promoted to the positions of head and deputy head in arid and semi-arid regions (Asal).
According to Dr. Macharia, the promotion of teachers in Asal was a deliberate affirmative action to help them grow.
The parties agreed in the recently signed Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with trade unions that all teachers holding administrative positions in A areas would be promoted.
The new CBA also phased out teacher service schemes, replacing them with the Career Progression Guidelines (CPGs.)
According to TSC communication, all promotions are based on Career Progression Guidelines for Teachers.
