  "account": "The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has re-advertised 1,631 promotion positions for serving teachers, providing an opportunity for educators to compete for administrative and leadership roles in primary and secondary schools. The newly advertised slots include 1,470 Deputy Headteacher II positions in primary schools, 132 Deputy Principal III roles, and 29 Senior Master II positions in secondary schools. This re-advertisement follows a larger promotion drive launched in July, which saw the posting of 34,016 vacancies across various educational institutions. Teachers interested in these roles must submit their applications through the TSC's online portal by midnight on September 14, with no manual submissions accepted. Those who applied for the same positions under the previous advertisement will not need to reapply. The three categories of positions have specific grading and salary expectations according to the 2025–2029 collective bargaining agreement. Successful candidates will be deployed to schools where vacancies exist, potentially requiring relocation from their current workplaces. Teachers must ensure their online profiles are accurate and up-to-date before applying. The Commission stresses the importance of meeting the prescribed qualifications and encourages eligible teachers to apply before the deadline to take advantage of this career advancement opportunity.",
