The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) plays a crucial role in ensuring that teachers in Kenya meet the necessary standards and qualifications.
One of the key processes in this regard is the verification of documents, especially academic and professional certificates.
This process is essential to confirm the authenticity of the documents submitted by teachers.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how TSC verifies documents:
- Submission of Documents
Teachers are required to submit their original academic and professional certificates to the TSC Sub County Director.
These documents include certificates from primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, as well as any other relevant certifications.
- Certification of Photocopies
The TSC Sub County Director certifies photocopies of the original documents.
This certification is crucial as it confirms that the photocopies are true copies of the originals.
- Forwarding to the TSC County Director
After certifying the photocopies, the TSC Sub County Director forwards them to the TSC County Director.
This step ensures that the documents are reviewed at the county level before being sent to the headquarters.
- Verification at Headquarters
Upon receiving the certified documents, the TSC headquarters further verifies them.
This verification process involves cross-checking the certificate numbers with the issuing institutions.
This step is crucial in confirming the authenticity of the documents.
- Confirmation of Qualifications
Once the documents are verified, the TSC confirms the qualifications of the teacher.
This confirmation is essential as it ensures that only qualified individuals are allowed to teach in Kenyan schools.
- Issuance of TSC Number
After confirming the qualifications, the TSC issues a TSC number to the teacher.
This number serves as proof that the teacher has met all the necessary requirements to teach in Kenya.
- Monitoring and Evaluation
The TSC continues to monitor and evaluate teachers to ensure that they maintain the required standards.
This process includes conducting regular appraisals and assessments to assess the performance of teachers.
- Disciplinary Action
In cases where teachers are found to have submitted false documents or do not meet the required standards, the TSC takes disciplinary action.
This action may include suspension or revocation of the TSC number.
