Big Smile for Teachers as Treasury Allocates money for Promotions
The Treasury has given the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Sh1 billion for teacher promotion in an effort to acknowledge and appreciate the sacrifices and commitment of teachers.
Despite not being the full amount asked by the TSC, the distribution of Sh1 billion is a significant step in resolving the issues expressed by educators.
Although the TSC had initially asked for Sh2.2 billion for teacher advancements, the money allotted will still go a long way towards advancing roughly 14,000 teachers who have higher degrees but have been trapped at the same level.
Teachers in secondary and primary institutions, including principals, assistant principals, senior masters, head teachers, and deputy head teachers, will benefit from the promotion.
Teachers who have been eagerly awaiting professional advancement will finally get the chance to advance with approximately 7,720 seats open.
Many instructors have expressed serious concerns about job stagnation, which has hampered their motivation and professional development.
