TSC’s January mass transfers had an impact on teachers.

TSC’s January mass transfers had an impact on teachers.

According to insiders, the county and sub-county Teachers Service Commission (TSC) offices are overflowing with teacher transfer letters as schools are just 10 days away from reopening for the first term.

Transfer letters for delocalized teachers who applied to be rerouted back home were recently made available by TSC.

Nonetheless, the TSC county and sub-county offices also have a large number of transfer letters for local classroom teachers and school officials.

When classes resume for the first term in January, some teachers who did not request for a transfer will receive their transfer letters.

Junior secondary school (JSS) teachers are also impacted; a sizable portion of them have been transferred to other schools.

Summary of 14,613 January 2025 teacher transfers

⚛️ Primary schools transfers – 10,934 (189 deputies, 1948 headteachers)
⚛️ Secondary school transfers – 1,316 (226 principals)
⚛️ 12,019 transfers to be handled at regional level
⚛️ 2,594 inter regional transfers to be conducted at the TSC headquarters

As for delocalized teachers a total of 11,843 transfer letters were released to the counties after the Commission approved their transfers that were in pending status.

Teachers who were delocalized and whose transfers were authorized online can now pick up their letters by going to the offices of their TSC County Directors.

Teachers who wanted to go back to their home counties were advised to apply as soon as possible by TSC officials in early September, before approvals started in December.

The teacher transfers were accepted by TSC transfer panels in December, right after the conclusion of the national exams.

When classes resume in January, teachers are supposed to pick up their transfer letters ahead of schedule and report to their new workstations.

After several inquiries from delocalized instructors whose transfer petitions had been languishing for months, the Commission was compelled to respond in early August of this year.

When classes resumed for the third term, the teachers were expecting transfers. When their applied transfers were denied, the instructors protested to the TSC.

The Commission said in a statement that transfers for delocalized teachers have been halted for the months of April and August.

TSC stated that, in contrast to prior years, the approval of delocalized teacher transfers will only be carried out once annually.

Before the teachers received their transfer letters, the TSC transfer boards authorized their online transfer petitions in December.

According to the Commission, it decided to minimize interruptions to national exams and school-related activities.

Teachers were assigned to serve in schools outside of their home counties as part of the teacher delocalization program, which was started by TSC.

Classroom instructors who were initially hired and assigned to remote counties in 2016 were the first casualties of the policy. Principals and head teachers in practice then came after this.

However, the Kenya Kwanza government canceled the program, and Moses Wetang’ula, the speaker of the National Assembly, declared on January 25, 2023, that the delocalization policy was unlawful since it lacked parliamentary permission.

After giving in, TSC revoked the policy and began returning the instructors to their home counties.

Teachers are transferred across counties within the same region at the regional level. Such transfers fall under the purview of TSC Regional Directors.

Teachers who want to be transferred to counties outside of their stationed regions must have their requests approved by national TSC transfer boards.

There are about 26,871 teachers that want to return to their home counties. Due to a shortage of appropriate placements, the instructors’ past bulk transfers were unsuccessful.

Only 20,055 of the 46,926 primary and secondary school teachers who had applied to be returned to their home counties as of June 30 of last year were actually transferred.

Before implementing a transfer request, the commission transfer policy makes sure that the station a teacher is leaving has a qualified replacement and that there is a vacancy in the requested station.

Prior to approving a teacher transfer, TSC makes sure that there are appropriate openings, replacements, and a staffing balance.

Former CS for Education In his June appearance in Parliament, Mr. Ezekiel Machogu stated that the TSC must “ensure equitable distribution and optimal utilization of teachers in all public basic education institutions to ensure that learners throughout the country have access to quality education as required by Article 43 of the Constitution” as part of its mandate to transfer and post teachers.

Teachers must submit a request if they would like to be considered for a transfer from one institution to another. The necessity for fair allocation and maximum teacher utilization will serve as the basis for teacher transfers between institutions, according to the CS.

The availability of openings at the intended station, the requirement for a replacement, current staffing standards, medical reasons, or other factors the TSC may take into account are additional transfer criteria.

Teachers who are delocalized can check the status of their applied transfers on the online TSC transfer application portal.

In order to pick up their transfer letters and report to their new station in January, successful teachers will need to go to respective TSC County headquarters.
