Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Transfer Form is a document filled when a teacher is seeking transfer from one school to another.
It is important to note that getting a transfer from one station to another is one of the uphill tasks a teacher can undertake. It is not easy especially if one has not completed the five year minimum requirement or three year requirement for teachers in North Eastern Part of Kenya.
Another hindrance to ones transfer is if the teacher happens to be the only one employed by commission to teach the two subjects in the school.
However, there is no room to despair when seeking for a transfer. There is an alternative option where you can seek for swop. A swop only works when the two teachers are in mutual agreement and they teaching same subjects combination.
