How To Apply For TSC Number Online Application Requirements And Status

The TSC Act 2012 requires that every trained teacher be registered by the Teachers Service Commission before they can be assigned duties in any school in Kenya, be it a private or public school.

To back this TSC act, the Ministry of Education released a directive to all county commissioners to ensure that only qualified teachers enter classrooms as of 2017. A qualified teacher has been registered by the Teacher Service Commission and awarded a certificate of registration.

If you are a trained teacher and you don’t have a TSC number, no need to worry anymore. It is good to note that TSC does not recognize any application made manually. This means that everything is done online.
