TSC asked to disclose teacher recruitment data from 2022 to 2026
Mugeria, Lempaa & Kariuki Advocates wants TSC to provide a detailed report of all teacher vacancies advertised during the period, including the number of positions advertised in each county and sub-county and the teaching cadres involved.
Nairobi, Kenya – The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been requested to disclose comprehensive data on teacher recruitment and employment from October 2022 to July 2026. Attorneys from Mugeria, Lempaa & Kariuki Advocates filed the request on behalf of their client, invoking the right to access information under Article 34 of the Constitution and Section 4 of the Access to Information Act, 2016.
The legal team seeks a detailed report from the commission, encompassing all teacher vacancies advertised during the specified period. This report should include the number of positions advertised in each county and sub-county, the teaching cadres involved, and an analysis of applicants, shortlisted candidates, interviewed individuals, and those ultimately recruited, categorized by county and sub-county.
Additionally, the lawyers request information on the factors influencing the allocation of vacancies to specific regions, including the staffing formula and data utilized to derive these allocations. They also inquire about adjustments made to vacancy numbers, including reasons for increases, reductions, or other changes. Moreover, the firm seeks a schedule of unfilled vacancies during the period, detailing the county, sub-county, teaching cadre, and the count of vacant positions, along with the reasons behind their unfulfillment.
The request aims to enhance public accountability, transparency, equality, and inclusiveness while providing insights into the geographical distribution of public employment. This comes amid scrutiny over the distribution of TSC employment letters and the methodologies employed in determining staffing allocations across counties.
