TSC Qualifications For Various Administrative Positions In Schools

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has established a wide range of standards that teachers must meet in order to advance to any of the administrative positions in school.

These deployment parameters and criteria are outlined in the Career Progression Guideline for Teachers as well as the Policy on Appointment and Deployment of Institutional Administrators.

To be appointed to any of the administrative posts, a teacher who meets the established criteria applies, is selected, has an interview, and those who are successful are competitively appointed and deployed.
