TSC Delocalized Teachers To Start Getting transfer Letters Next Week.
TSC Transfer Letters Are Released. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will start sending transfer letters to teachers who have requested transfers outside of their county or region after being delocalized.
Successful teachers can visit the local and regional TSC offices to pick up their transfer letters.
According to information released by the Commission headquarters, requests are made for both regional and inter-regional transfers in order to streamline transfers in early January.
Elementary and secondary schools will reopen on January 8, 2024. Since the teachers can get settled at their new station sooner, early transfer letters minimize disruptions to instruction.
At the regional level, teachers are moved between counties that are part of the same area. The TSC Regional is in charge of these transactions.
Around 26,871 teachers are seeking to be transferred back to their home counties. The teachers were unsuccessful in the previous mass transfers due to lack of suitable placements.
As of June 30, some 46,926 primary and secondary school teachers had requested to be transferred back to their home counties, but only 20,055 were transferred back.
The commission transfer policy ensures that the station a teacher is leaving has a suitable replacement and that there is a vacancy in the preferred station before effecting a transfer request.
Before a teacher is transferred TSC ensures that there are suitable vacancies, replacements and a balance of staff before the transfer is approved.
Education CS Mr Ezekiel Machogu when he appeared in Parliament in June noted that TSC, in the exercise of its mandate to transfer and post teachers, it has “to ensure equitable distribution and optimal utilisation of teachers in all public basic education institutions to ensure that learners throughout the country have access to quality education as required by Article 43 of the Constitution.”
“Teachers who wish to be considered for transfer from one institution to another must submit a request. The transfer of teachers from one institution to another will be guided by the need for equitable distribution and optimum utilisation of teachers,” the CS said.
Other transfer criteria include the availability of vacancies in the proposed station, the need for replacement, existing staffing norms, medical reasons or other reasons that the TSC may consider.
Delocalized teachers can check the online TSC transfer application portal on the status of their applied transfers.
Successful teachers will have to visit their TSC County offices to pick their transfer letters and report to their new station in January.
