Teachers’ aged-based promotional interviews of over 21,000 teachers both in primary, junior and senior schools will officially commence today, Monday 6 across the country.
Education News has established that preparation for the exercise slipped into the weekend in various sub counties as panelists gathered all the necessities.
This comes after the outcry from the teachers and CSOs who missed out on the previous TSC promotional slot. It is noted that immediately the shortlisted teachers and Curriculum Support Officers, (CSOs) received their invitation letters, their colleagues who missed out lamented over the commission decision to shortlist elderly candidates.
The tutors were of the opinion that TSC should heed the president’s affirmation that the number of teachers to be promoted have to be doubled moving forward in a bid to cut down job group stagnation.
