Due to a scarcity of Deputy School Heads, Senior Teachers, and Masters, the Commission has established standards for the amount of administrators schools should have.
Additionally, teachers who have previously participated in acting roles will be given preference in promotions.
While appearing before the Senate Cohesion Committee, the TSC boss drafted a report regarding the medical benefits, jobs, promotions, and transfers of the teachers who were generating difficulties.
