TSC Releases List Of Teachers With Pending Transfers Per County

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released the list of transferred teachers who had applied online. The list features the teachers’ basic details and application status.

According to TSC, of the teachers, 14,733 were matched and approved while 21,544 are pending. In March 2021, TSC introduced a new online portal for online transfer applications; replacing the manual application process. The TSC online transfer portal is https://hrmis.tsc.go.ke/tm-app/apply_transfer.

The transfer application status can be confirmed with the TSC County Director. This status can be either Acknowledged or Pending. However, TSC says, of the teachers, 14,733 were matched and approved while 21,544 are pending.

“Some transfer requests are for transfers other than home counties. As an employer, the commission cannot dictate to a teacher to apply to be transferred to a particular county. Similarly, the commission cannot decline a transfer request simply because a teacher hasn’t applied to be taken to his home county,” the document reads in part.

The transfers also depend on the availability of vacancies in the station, the need for replacement, existing staffing norms, and medical grounds certified by a registered medical practitioner

In a document submitted to the Senate Committee on Education by TSC, a total of 36,277 teachers applied for transfers between November 1 last year and January 31 this year.

TSC is implementing the delocalization policy following the government’s move to post teachers to their home counties. Data submitted to the Senate by the commission also revealed that most teachers prefer to work in Nairobi City County.

During the period, 1,885 teachers applied to be transferred to the capital city while 76 requested to be transferred out of Nairobi. Some 41 requests out of 1,162 to primary schools and four to secondary schools out of 723 were approved by TSC by end of January

The number of those who wanted to be transferred out of Bungoma County stood at 1,074 teachers. Mombasa County is also a favorite among secondary school teachers, with 340 applying to move to the Coastal City against 55 who asked to be moved out.
