The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is set to promote 36,000 teachers who have stagnated in the same job groups for years.
In a notice seen by The Eastleigh Voice, the TSC says it has completed the interview process and expects to release the list of successful candidates next week, with appointment letters to follow.

"The process of teacher promotion has come to an end. The final list of successful candidates has been forwarded to all human resource unit managers for printing of appointment letters in readiness for dispatch from Monday," read the notice.
The TSC said teachers above the age of 50, those with proven disabilities, and those who have held acting leadership positions such as head and deputy head of institution stand to benefit from the promotions.
The commission further said it was making efforts to finish the process promptly to enable the assignment of primary teachers to junior secondary schools.
"The process is being expedited to allow the commission to deal with the deployment of primary teachers to JSS. The appointment letters will be dispatched to counties from early next week depending on the speed of every human resource unit," read the notice.
It added that by the end of March, all successful teachers will have been notified of their promotions.
Successful candidates will have to produce the five documents listed in chapter six of the constitution, which covers leadership and integrity.
These include a valid Certificate of Good Conduct from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), a clearance certificate from the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), and a tax compliance certificate from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The others are clearance certificates from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and an approved Credit Reference Bureau ( CRB).
The TSC invited applications for 36,000 promotions in August last year and interviews were conducted in December and January this year.
The positions up for grabs included chief principal, regular secondary school (34), senior principal, regular secondary school (108), principal, regular secondary school (541), deputy principal II, regular secondary school (547), senior lecturer I (72), deputy principal III, and regular secondary school (1,057).
Others were senior master III, regular secondary school (1,142), senior lecturer IV, TTC (216), senior master IV, regular secondary school (12,716), secondary teacher I, regular school (1,928), head teacher, regular primary school (1,049) and head teacher SNE primary school (30).
There were also positions for deputy head teacher II, regular primary school (1,930), senior teacher I, regular primary school (3,040), senior teacher I, SNE primary school (346), senior teacher II regular primary school (10,819) and senior teacher II SNE primary school (700).
The Commission said it would advertise an additional 6,000 positions this financial year after it was allocated Sh1 billion for the promotion of teachers.
