The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has declared at least 36,000 teachers eligible for advancement.
The commission recently released a circular outlining its plan to elevate teachers to all nine grade levels in order to combat the issue of employment stagnation among teachers.
According to the TSC, “Primary, secondary schools, and teacher training colleges will all receive promotions.”
The commission has assigned 10,819 promotions for senior instructors in regular primary schools and 12,716 promotions for senior master positions.
Furthermore, there are 700 senior teacher posts in special needs schools and 216 senior teaching positions (Grade C4) at teacher training colleges.
