Teachers Service Commission (TSC)

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is an independent government agency in Kenya that is responsible for the management of human resources in the education sector.

Although the TSC was established in 1967, its history dates back to the 1950s when teachers led by retired President Daniel Moi vigorously fought for the formation of one teacher body.

Following the formation of the first teachers union in Kenya – the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) in 1957 there was sustained agitation for the creation of an umbrella body to manage the affairs of all teachers.

At the time, teachers were employed by either; missionaries, local authorities or the Central Government which led to a great disparity in remuneration and other terms and conditions of service.

In 1964, The Kenya Education Commission Report (The Ominde Report) strongly supported the need for a competent, respected and contented teaching force.

As a result of these factors, the Teachers Service Commission was formed in July 1967 through an Act of Parliament to give teachers one employer and uniform terms and conditions of service.

It was charged with the mandate of registering, employing, promoting, disciplining and paying teachers.

Functions of the TSC

Article 237 of the Kenyan Constitution states the mandate and functions of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) as to;

• Register trained teachers.
• Recruit and employ registered teachers.
• Assign teachers employed by the Commission for service in any public school or institution.
• Promote and transfer teachers.
• Exercise disciplinary control over teachers.
• Terminate the employment of teachers.
• Review the standards of education and training of persons entering the teaching service.
• Review the demand for and the supply of teachers.
• Advise the national government on matters relating to the teaching profession.

Additional mandate and functions of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) under Section 11 of the TSC Act are to;

• Formulate policies to achieve its mandate;
• Provide strategic direction, leadership and oversight to the secretariat (of the Commission under Section 18 of TSC Act);
• Ensure that teachers comply with the teaching standards prescribed by the Commission under TSC Act;
• Manage the payroll of teachers in its employment;
• Facilitate career progression and professional development for teachers in the teaching service including the appointment of head teachers and principals;
