This significant reshuffling aims to optimize the distribution of educational leadership, ensuring effective administration and continued growth in the affected schools.
Additionally, the TSC is expected to announce a mass transfer of classroom teachers to further enhance equitable distribution and utilization. The transfer criteria will consider factors such as the need for replacement, availability of vacancies, existing staffing norms, and medical reasons.
Teachers anticipating transfers are advised to check the status of their applications online on the TSC transfer application portal. Successful transfers can collect their transfer letters from respective TSC County offices and are expected to report to their new stations in January, ushering in a new era for both educators and students alike.
