Before a teacher is considered for approval of their transfer approval, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) normally considers some factors that it considers important.
TSC considers specific details to use to consider inter county transfer requests especially for teachers who are delocalized
TSC normally prioritize balance in its staff in each Sub County so as not to create a severe shortage for the sake of fulfilling the urges for delocalized teachers.
The factors considered relevant by TSC to approve teacher transfer include ;
1. Age of the teacher
Several teachers within this age bracket are school heads who were transferred out of their county back from 2018.
2.Health status of the teacher
TSC approves transfer for teachers with proven cases of terminal illness almost immediately.
According to TSC, those teachers suffering from chronic conditions like High Blood Pressure, Diabetes etc will have their transfers prioritized.
3. Those Teachers with Disabilities
Teachers having necessary certification were previously exempted from transfers outside their sub-county now enjoy top consideration when they seek for transfers.
4. Family considerations for the teacher
TSC started considering family nas a key factor when re-routing delocalized teachers back home.
