Speaking during the release of the 2024 KCSE exam results, TSC Chairperson Jamleck Muturi emphasised that the promotions reflect the commission's ongoing commitment to recognising and rewarding the hard work of educators.
"We encourage all eligible teachers to take advantage of this opportunity to advance their careers," Muturi said.
The TSC's promotion plans are attributed to increased funding from the government, which has enabled the commission to prioritise capacity building and professional development for teachers.
According to Muturi, 229,292 primary school teachers are currently undergoing retooling, with an additional 60,000 junior secondary school teachers being trained to align with the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
"These programmes ensure that our teachers are equipped with skills to effectively implement CBC and meet the diverse needs of our learners," Muturi explained.
The announcement follows a year of progress in the education sector, with the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) reporting that 965,512 candidates registered for the 2024 KCSE exams, marking a 7.19 per cent increase, the highest since 2020.
