Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has re-advertised 3,469 vacancies for promotion. The move comes after, the commission failed to get enough candidates in the previous promotion positions that were to be filled.
The newly advertised positions come with reprieve after the commission decided to shelve requirements for promotion. TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia said the requirements for promotion had been relaxed to allow teachers time to acquire the qualifications.
