Understanding TSC Special Leave in Kenya.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) of Kenya offers a unique provision known as “Special Leave” for its educators. This leave plays an important role in supporting teachers who attend meetings, conferences, or seminars of short duration that are of national interest or relevant to their duties. The concept behind this provision is to enable teachers to stay updated with developments in their field and contribute to national educational objectives.
The TSC may grant special leave with pay if the event the teacher is attending directly relates to their professional duties and benefits. Alternatively, teachers may receive special leave without pay when they need to be away from their duty station for reasons not within the scope of paid special leave.
The process for applying for special leave requires teachers to submit a written request along with relevant documents supporting their need for leave. It’s important to note that teachers are advised not to leave their station before the approval of their leave.
This system reflects TSC’s commitment to professional development and the recognition of the importance of continuous learning for teachers. By allowing educators to engage in activities that enhance their teaching skills and knowledge, TSC is investing in the quality of education that students receive.
