    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Education on a matter of national concern regarding the promotion of 25,252 teachers by the Teacher Service Commission on 2nd April, 2025. In the statement, the committee should address the following issues- (1) The criteria and the methodology that was used by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in selecting teachers for promotion across different counties and whether the criteria upheld the principles of merit, equity and inclusivity. (2) Whether long-serving teachers with higher academic qualifications and graduates were either bypassed while younger teachers with fewer qualifications and years of experience were promoted during the exercise and if so, the justification for the same. (3) The rationale behind the distribution model used, particularly with regard to counties which are densely populated, but receive fewer promotions. (4) Whether a grievance redress and appeal mechanism was put in place for the teachers who felt aggrieved by this promotion process and how many complaints the TSC has received and how many they have resolved up to date. (5) What measures are being implemented by the TSC to promote transparency and accountability to address the long-standing cases of career stagnation of our teachers?"
