Classroom teachers will soon be able to rise to the highest professional ranks without leaving teaching duties under proposed reforms by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) aimed at ending years of career stagnation in the profession.
The reforms, developed jointly by TSC and teachers' unions, seek to replace the much-criticized Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) introduced in 2018 and create a more flexible promotion structure that rewards professional growth alongside administrative leadership.
TSC Chairman Jamleck Kamau said the proposed guidelines are the culmination of years of consultations with teachers and education stakeholders across the country.
