The Teachers Service Commission has dismissed allegations of political interference and corruption in teacher recruitment, stating the process is conducted independently and in accordance with the law. TSC Chairperson Dr. Jamleck Muturi said the commission does not issue appointment letters to politicians, responding to claims by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula that some MPs had received batches of teacher appointment letters for distribution.
The Teachers Service Commission is finalising a review of its Career Progression Guidelines to address concerns over career advancement, staffing, and welfare. The new guidelines aim to provide clearer, merit-based promotion pathways that allow teachers to advance professionally without moving into administrative positions, with 126,462 teachers promoted through competitive interviews and 34,016 vacancies being filled across job groups.
The Teachers Service Commission has placed physical and mental wellbeing of teachers at the centre of its nationwide Teacher Run, with TSC Commissioner Antonina Lentoijoni calling for stronger support systems to enable educators to remain healthy, motivated and professionally fulfilled. She described teacher wellness as fundamental to educational excellence and encouraged teachers to adopt healthier lifestyles.
The Teachers Service Commission announced that teachers who dedicate time to training students in music, drama, sports, science, and creative arts will now have co-curricular achievements formally integrated into career progression metrics.

Justice Ocharo Kebira in Mombasa rejected Thomas Oyugi's application to withdraw a petition challenging the employment of the Teachers Service Commission Chief Executive Officer, terming it forum shopping and an abuse of court process. The judge noted the petition was in its final stages awaiting judgment and that Oyugi's cited personal circumstances were irrelevant at that stage.
The Teachers Service Commission and teachers' unions have jointly developed new Career Progression Guidelines to replace the 2018 version, allowing classroom teachers to reach the highest professional ranks without leaving teaching duties and creating a more flexible structure that rewards professional growth alongside administrative leadership.
President Ruto has directed the Ministry of Education to digitise all education data within two months to improve accountability and weed out cartels. A recent audit identified 87,000 ghost secondary school students, 800,000 fake pupils in primary schools, and 200 non-existent schools, with the government paying Ksh.1.2 billion annually for learners that did not exist.
