The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) have reached an agreement to promote over 30,000 teachers who had stagnated in one position for over seven years.

TSC will also recruit 20,000 teachers to address the shortage in Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) in a joint exercise that will cost the exchequer more than Sh7.8 billion.
