By OUMA WANZALAMore by this AuthorPromotion of teachers to administrative positions has been suspended to allow for implementation of new rules requiring competitive recruitment. Those affected by the suspension are curriculum support officers and headteachers, Teachers Service Commission chief executive Nancy Macharia said in a circular to county directors. Ms Macharia said the commission suspended the promotions because it was implementing the job evaluation report for the teaching service and the 2017-21 collective bargaining agreement to be effected on July 1. MACHARIA“Note that any appointments of institutional administrators and curriculum support officers made outside the set guidelines ... shall not be honoured by the commission,” she said. Ms Macharia added that every TSC county director would be held liable for falsifying information by backdating irregular appointments.
