The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has promoted 16,152 following interviews conducted in December 2020 and February 2021.
In a press statement, TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia, announced that the interviews are part of the final phase of the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Macharia said letters on the outcome of the interviews are in the process of being sent to all teachers who were interviewed.
She cautioned teachers against falling prey to fraudsters purporting to have the ability to influence the outcome of the interviews. She said the commission will only use existing official communication channels.
Among those who have been promoted are teachers who will serve as Deputy Principal 1(T-Scale 13- D3), Deputy Principal II (T-scale 12,D2), Senior Lecturer I (T-scale 12,D2), Deputy Principal III (T-Scale 11-D1), Curriculum Support Officers (T-scale 10-C5), Head teachers (T-scale 10,C5), Senior Master IV( T-scale 9C4), Deputy Head Teachers II (T-scale 9-C4), Senior Lecturer IV (T-scale 9-C4) and teachers in senior Master I (T Scale 9- C4) job groups.
Others promoted include head teachers and deputy head teachers II, Secondary Teacher I and II serving under the Career Progression Guidelines and those in ASAL areas.
The promotions are likely to spark mass transfers of the teachers to new stations with existing vacancies.
More than 33, 000 teachers had applied for the promotions that saw 16,152 qualified.
The applicants must have served in former job groups for a minimum of 3 years and were required to be holders of Bachelor of Education or Bachelor of Science or Arts degree plus a graduate diploma in education.
