The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) plays a crucial role in regulating various aspects of the teaching profession within the country.
Among the major responsibilities of the TSC are new teacher registration, the recruitment of new teachers, promotions, teacher transfers, and ensuring timely payment of educator salaries.

The Commission, led by its CEO, has actively pursued additional funding to address the persistent teacher shortage and enhance opportunities for career advancement in the education sector.
The TSC also advocates for improved pay and working conditions for primary and secondary school teachers throughout Kenya, recognizing the dedication and hard work of these educators.
Despite the challenges in the teaching profession, there is optimism for new Kenyan teachers.
In 2023, a significant milestone was reached as educators who began their careers as interns in 2019 were officially confirmed as full-time teachers under permanent terms. This transition provides job security and financial stability for these committed educators.
The TSC took proactive steps in February 2023 by recruiting approximately 20,000 trainee teachers, primarily for primary and secondary schools.

These teachers were initially hired under internship terms to support the implementation of the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in the country.
While some of these newly hired trainee teachers have already moved into permanent and pensionable positions, a portion of them remains in internship roles.
Reliable sources suggest that the TSC is in the final stages of implementing measures that will ultimately transition all senior trainee teachers recruited in February 2023 into permanent positions with pension benefits.
This transition marks a significant advancement in the landscape of teacher employment in Kenya.
As part of this transition, all teachers employed under internship agreements will receive official letters confirming their transfer to long-term pensionable positions before the start of the school year in 2024.
