The Teachers Service Commission (TSC), a vital Constitutional body established under Article 237(1) of the Kenyan Constitution, has once again opened its doors to eligible educators through a re-advertisement for key leadership roles in Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs).
In line with its mandate to manage human resources within the education sector, the Commission is inviting applications from suitably qualified individuals to fill the roles of Senior Principal and Senior Lecturer IV. This announcement comes as part of the TSC’s continuous effort to ensure quality education through the appointment of competent and experienced personnel in strategic positions.
According to the official vacancy notice dated under the 2025 cycle, a total of 36 positions are available. One vacancy is for the position of Senior Principal (TTC) which falls under T-Scale 14, Grade D4, listed as Advert No. 01/2025. The other 35 vacancies are for the position of Senior Lecturer IV (TTC), listed under T-Scale 9, Grade C4, as per Advert No. 02/2025.
These roles are crucial in steering the academic and administrative functions of Teacher Training Colleges, ensuring that the future educators of Kenya are well-equipped with both theoretical knowledge and practical teaching skills.
TSC’s call for applications is strictly digital, emphasizing efficiency and transparency in the recruitment process. Interested candidates are required to submit their applications exclusively through the TSC online portal at www.teachersonline.go.ke.
Manual applications will not be accepted under any circumstances, reinforcing the commission’s commitment to leveraging technology in its operations. All applications must be received by midnight on 21st April 2025, giving applicants ample time to prepare and upload the necessary documents.
In alignment with the Career Progression Guidelines for Teachers, the advertised positions require not only academic qualifications but also demonstrable leadership experience and a track record of excellence in teaching and administration. Applicants are therefore encouraged to review the eligibility criteria carefully on the portal before submitting their applications.
Importantly, the Teachers Service Commission has reiterated its dedication to inclusivity and equal opportunity. It encourages persons with disabilities to apply, underscoring the Commission’s firm stance on diversity and equality in employment. This re-advertisement provides a renewed opportunity for professionals who may have missed the previous call or those who have since met the minimum requirements.
In conclusion, this announcement represents a significant step in strengthening the leadership and instructional capacity of Kenya’s Teacher Training Colleges. With a limited number of vacancies and a firm deadline in place, interested educators are advised to act promptly.
These appointments not only offer career progression but also a chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of educators in the country. The TSC continues to demonstrate its commitment to quality education through merit-based recruitment, and this opportunity is a testament to that mission.
