The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and Digital Transformation in Kenya
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya has made significant strides in modernizing its services to enhance efficiency and convenience for teachers nationwide. A notable development introduced in February 2021 is the Online Teacher Transfer Application process. Traditionally, transfer requests are reviewed at the end of each year by the Appointment Board. However, the TSC retains the discretion to transfer teachers based on specific criteria.
To be considered for a transfer, a teacher must initiate a transfer application through their institution’s head. The necessary application forms can be acquired from TSC offices or their official website. The completed application forms are then submitted by the institution’s head to TSC or its authorized agents. The management of primary school teacher transfers within a county falls under the jurisdiction of the TSC County Director, while transfers outside the county are overseen by TSC headquarters, including transfers to tertiary institutions.
Transfer requests are promptly acknowledged, and the decisions from the Appointment Board are communicated to teachers as they become available. Transfers are contingent on the availability of vacancies and the need for replacements.
