TEACHERS' PROMOTIONS 2025
In Kenya, Grade 9 learners transitioning to Senior Secondary School in 2026 will be placed based on their career choices, academic performance, and interests, as determined by their performance in Grades 6, 7, 8, and 9. Students will select 12 schools, with 9 being boarding and 3 day schools. The schools will be categorized by pathways: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports Science.
The theme for this year’s conference, “Embracing Pathways in Senior School Education,” underscores our commitment to addressing the evolving challenges and opportunities within the education sector.
As Principals, we recognize the critical need to adapt to these changes, and we are confi dent that this conference will provide an invaluable platform for engaging discussions, meaningful collaborations, and the exchange of best practices among educators, stakeholders, and partners.
I want to assure you that our team is fully dedicated to ensuring that this conference not only succeeds but also marks a signifi cant step forward in the transformation of education in Kenya. We are committed to creating an environment that fosters growth and benefi ts all participants.
We are honored to have the support of the Ministry of Education and the Teachers Service Commission, and we look forward to working closely with all our sponsors, stakeholders, and supporters to further advance the education sector in Kenya.
We invite you to join us in making this conference a milestone event—one that will inspire and shape the future of education in Kenya. Your contribution as a sponsor is invaluable, and we are excited about the opportunity for a mutually benefi cial partnership.
In 2025, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya finalized promotions for over 25,000 teachers, with some promotions being expedited due to a waiver of the usual three-year requirement in a specific job grade. The promotions followed interviews and were intended to address staffing shortages arising from retirements. The process involved the issuance of promotion letters, with successful candidates receiving them from County and Sub County Directors and those unsuccessful receiving regret letters.
