The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has extended the deadline for registered but unemployed teachers to submit updated personal and professional information, pushing the cut‑off date from March 16 to midnight of April 7.
In a notice, the commission said the exercise is aimed at updating its records to support effective workforce planning and inform recruitment policies, but not a recruitment drive
“The purpose of this exercise is to update the existing records for effective teacher workforce planning, including establishing the demand and supply of qualified teachers to inform teacher recruitment and related policies,” reads the notice.

Mandated under Article 237(2) and (3) of the Constitution and section 24 of the TSC Act, 2012, the commission is responsible for registering trained teachers, reviewing standards of education and teacher supply, and advising the government on matters relating to the profession. The current exercise is designed to provide accurate, up‑to‑date data on the teacher workforce, which is critical for planning, resource allocation, and future recruitment policies.
TSC explained that the updated database will help establish the demand and supply of qualified teachers across the country, while also building detailed profiles of unemployed teachers, including their qualifications, subject specialisations, and levels of training.
“Teachers targeted for submission of this information should provide their details online at www.tsc.go.ke under the ‘Online Services’ menu -Teacher Profile Update,” the commission said. Alternatively, teachers can access the portal directly via https://tsconline.tsc.go.ke/profile/teacher-profile/.

Upon submission, teachers are required to provide personal and professional details such as full name, identification number, ethnicity, county and sub‑county of origin, gender, academic qualifications, subject combination, level of training, disability status, and contact information. They must also sign a consent form to complete the process.
The commission assured teachers that all information submitted will be protected and processed in line with the Data Protection Act and TSC’s Privacy Notice. It stressed that the exercise is purely for updating records and does not constitute a job application, meaning no participant is guaranteed employment or related benefits.
