    "content": " Part (ii) of the question is on whether the TSC could provide details of the performance of the said teacher with regard to the school. The performance of Mr. ole Mereu for a period of three years is as per the table below: in 2017, the school’s mean score was 237.13; in 2018, 217.14 and in 2019, 301.55. The next part of the question is why Mr. Kudate has been serving in an acting capacity despite his stellar performance that has improved the school’s education standards. The answer is that promotion of teachers in public service is done competitively with the objective of attracting competent skills so as to achieve quality education. Promotion of teachers is based on career progression guidelines to manage the career growth of teachers in service. The guidelines outline the skills and competencies necessary for advancement in the profession. The guidelines further provide for minimum requirements for selection, appointment and promotion of teachers at different grades. Mr. Kudate is currently Head Teacher 1 at Grade C4. He has served in that grade for more than three years and, therefore, qualifies to apply for promotion to the position of Head Teacher 2 at Grade C5 when vacancies are advertised. Unfortunately, our records confirm that the teacher did not apply for the post of head teacher when the Commission advertised the positions in mid-2019 and December 2019. The final part of the question is on the timelines within which the TSC shall revoke the proposed transfer so as to safeguard the increasing education standards at Inkoirienito Mixed Day and Boarding School and neighbouring areas of Narok County. The Commission has no intention of revoking the transfer of Mr. Kudate since he initiated the transfer to his current station. Mr. Kudate should be advised to apply for a position of head teacher when the Commission next advertises vacancies in that grade. In conclusion, on behalf of the TSC, I wish to thank this Committee for its continued support. Thank you."
