The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has launched a process to update records for registered teachers who are currently unemployed, aimed at strengthening workforce planning. The initiative seeks to maintain an accurate and up-to-date database of qualified teachers across the country. This will help establish demand and supply dynamics of trained teachers and guide future recruitment strategies and policy decisions.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has called on registered teachers who are currently unemployed to submit their details through the commission's official portal to update their records. The process was announced on March 3, 2026, and will run until midnight on March 16, 2026. Teachers are required to provide accurate information, including their ID or passport number, TSC number, surname as per their registration certificate, and an active phone number for communication.
According to the commission's statement, "The updated data will be processed and stored in accordance with the Provisions of the Data Protection Act and the Privacy Notice of the Commission." TSC has emphasized that the exercise is purely administrative and should not be seen as a job advertisement, with participation not guaranteeing employment or immediate recruitment opportunities. The information will aid in strengthening workforce planning and informing policy decisions in the education sector.
Teachers can access the update via the "Careers" section on www.tsc.go.ke or a direct profile update link. They are also advised to correct details such as subject combinations if needed. This comes as the government outlines plans to recruit 24,000 new teachers and convert 46,000 to permanent and pensionable terms.
