TSC Online Recruitment Portal And Open Vacancies 2023: Latest News And Updates

Although the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) was officially established in 1967, its origins stretch back to the 1950s. It was a time when the teaching profession in Kenya was under the leadership of retired President Daniel T Moi. Together with other dedicated educators, Moi rallied to create a single body to oversee the needs and concerns of all teachers.

Imagine this: back then, teachers were hired either by missionaries, local governments, or the Central Government. This setup led to salaries, benefits, and other work-related inconsistencies. Fast forward to 1964, and the Kenya Education Commission Report (also known as The Ominde Report) amplified the call for a more harmonized teaching profession. It was a pivotal moment that, three years later, birthed the TSC.
