    "content": "Promotion on attainment of higher qualification is, therefore, not financially sustainable. Teachers who obtain degree certificates are promoted to job Group K when there are vacancies as per the staff establishment. The issue is not the fact that they are not qualified to have the promotion, but the opportunities are not yet there. The teachers approved establishment for job Group K for the year 2016/2017 is 45,184. There are no vacancies to accommodate those who have submitted degree certificates. With regard to the third question, we were to indicate when the Commission intends to promote the teachers in paragraph two above. The answer is: The decision to delay promotions in recognition of higher qualifications affected all teachers in the country and not only those from Isiolo County. In the final question we were to explain the reason behind the decision by the Commission not to promote teachers who scored Grade C+ and below, in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), but have since upgraded to degree through a number of expensive accredited courses. My answer is as follows: The teachers who submitted certificates on or before 2014 were promoted without considering whether they scored Grade C+ and below, in KCSE. However, the Commission currently requires that for one to be registered, employed or promoted as graduate teacher, he or she should have a mean Grade of C+ and above at KCSE."
