Teachers have been urged to ensure that their professional documents and curriculum records are up to date ahead of an expected exercise by officials from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) headquarters.
According to a message circulated among teachers, a team from TSC headquarters is expected to visit the counties from next week for an extensive 10-day audit focusing on professional work and curriculum implementation. The message, purportedly from a senior TSC official, asks teachers to have the relevant documents ready for inspection.
The documents expected to come under scrutiny include schemes of work, lesson plans, records of work covered and evidence of syllabus or curriculum coverage. TSC’s professional documentation requirements include approved schemes of work, updated lesson plans and records of work, which are used to support curriculum delivery and supervision.

The reported audit comes at a time when schools are also undertaking various School-Based Assessments (SBAs) under the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). The message further claims that KNEC officials will be on the ground to supervise SBA activities.
Teachers have consequently been advised to ensure that their professional records are properly prepared, updated and available, while schools are expected to comply with the relevant KNEC assessment guidelines.
However, the specific claim that TSC headquarters officials will conduct a 10-day countywide audit has not been independently confirmed through an official TSC notice.
Teachers are therefore advised to await or verify any formal communication from the Commission or their county and sub-county offices.
