For the 2024/2025 financial year, the Teaching Service Committee (TSC) has processed 2,636 staffing cases, including 346 promotions.

The TSC also processed 1,729 contract-to-permanent conversions under the In-Service Education and Training (INSET) programme.

The Chairperson of the Public Service Commission, Patrick Nandago, says as part of its mandate, the TSC conducted human resource audits and training visits to six regions during the period under review. 

"The audits identified critical factors impacting school performance in the areas of delays in filling posts, inappropriate recruitment practices and non-standardised criteria for specialised roles, absence of key implementation documents, and delays in processing benefits, as well as ineffective reporting structures. Structural role conflicts between principals and inspectors pose a threat to effective school management and teaching deployment."

Among its achievements, which the TSC recorded, was the issuing of four human resource circulars aimed at addressing policy interpretation, recruitment standards, and teacher qualification frameworks. 

It also fostered strategic collaboration with education authorities to enhance recruitment processes, implement audit feedback, and submit reform proposals to revise job roles and address teacher misplacement. 

"The TSC has made significant progress in workforce management and policy oversight within the teaching service. However, critical gaps remain in infrastructure expansion, policy implementation and recruitment standardisation." 

Commissioner Nandago, therefore, vowed that the Public Service Commission, through the TSC, remains committed to reforming the education sector by addressing these challenges to ensure quality education service delivery.
