TSC Begins Consultations With Teachers in Long-Awaited Career Progression Overhaul

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has launched consultations on the review of its Career Progression Guidelines, during a forum at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE) on June 9, 2026. Acting CEO Eveleen Mitei emphasized that teachers' voices matter in building the future of the teaching service. TSC proposes a three-year promotion cycle and automatic promotions for teachers in grades C1 to C3, addressing career stagnation where some teachers have waited up to 30 years for advancement.
