In a public notice issued on Tuesday, the TSC invited qualified individuals with strong educational and management backgrounds to apply for the top position. "This marks a critical leadership transition for the Commission. The Secretary will be the Chief Executive Officer responsible for implementing the Commission's policies, decisions, and strategies," stated the TSC. Those interested in replacing Dr. Macharia have three weeks to submit their applications. The next CEO will serve an initial five-year term, which can be renewed once based on performance, in accordance with Section 16 of the TSC Act. To be eligible, applicants must be Kenyan citizens and hold a university degree in education from a recognized institution. They should also possess at least 10 years of experience in education, administration and management, public administration, human resources, or financial management. Furthermore, they must meet the leadership and integrity requirements outlined in Chapter Six of the Constitution. The incoming CEO will lead the TSC Secretariat, serve as the Commission's Accounting Officer, be responsible for all Commission records, supervise staff, ensure the execution of Commission decisions, and oversee policy implementation while upholding public ethics and values. Dr. Macharia, who made history in 2015 as the first woman to head the TSC, will complete her second and final five-year term on June 30, 2025. Her tenure has witnessed significant policy shifts and increased attention on teacher management and education reforms in Kenya. Applicants are directed to download the official application form from www.tsc.go.ke, complete it, and submit it along with a detailed curriculum vitae, certified copies of academic and professional certificates, and a national ID or passport.
