Transferring within the teaching profession in Kenya allows educators to try out various jobs and experiences. For teachers interested in inter-county, intra-county, or sub-county transfers, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has created a detailed application form. Here are the essential details included in this application form, as well as the associated guidelines:
TSC/TM/TA/001 (Rev. 2012) is a transfer application form intended exclusively for teachers requesting transfers within the Kenyan education system. Let’s break down the form’s important sections:

2. Teaching Subjects: Indicate the subjects you teach.
