TSC Restricts C2 Teachers From Becoming Deputy Principals
Recent developments in the educational sector have brought to light the challenges faced by teachers hoping to further their careers under the Teaching Service Commission (TSC). The recent decision to reject promotions of C2-level teachers to the position of deputy headteachers has sparked discussions about the state of teacher career development across the country. This choice has not only angered a lot of instructors, but it also demonstrates how complex the requirements for promotion are.
The Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) mandate that teachers advance through occupational groups in a specific order. For instance, a senior teacher in job group C2 must first advance to job group C3 in order to be eligible for the position of deputy headteacher in job group C4.
A teacher must also work in job group C3 for a minimum of three years before being confirmed in job group C4. Even though they are designed to guarantee a fair and progressive career growth, these guidelines have come under fire for the potential for stagnation and a lack of flexibility.
The lack of qualified candidates has come to light as another concern as a result of the TSC’s heightened focus on county opportunities for promotions. Despite numerous posts across a variety of media, the TSC has had problems finding enough qualified instructors to apply for promotion jobs.
This raises questions about the effectiveness of the promotion-based localization approach, which concentrates promotions on opportunities inside counties.
TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia emphasized the need for more teachers to explore for career choices elsewhere although acknowledging the difficulty of the situation. It has also been shown why instructors are reluctant to submit applications for promotions. different teachers voiced concern about being relocated to different counties, while some instructors lamented the lack of opportunities for higher job categories.

It is imperative to address the issue of teacher morale and satisfaction. Teachers who have been in the same employment group for a long period usually experience demotivation. Malava MP Malulu Injendi emphasized the need for more secure positions with pension benefits to give teachers hope for their future careers. He advocated addressing the root reasons of teacher stagnation while also supporting the implementation of stringent requirements to encourage teachers to submit applications for promotions.
To solve these concerns, the TSC, teachers’ unions, and other concerned parties should continue to collaborate. The importance of enhanced communication, flexible promotion requirements, and alluring advancement incentives must be emphasized.
Collaboration is more important than ever for improving the career path for teachers. As discussions continue and actions are taken, the educational environment has the potential to improve, ultimately assisting educators and students across the nation.
