The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has made a major announcement, removing four teachers from the Register of Teachers in Kenya. According to the latest TSC news today, this action is in line with Section 30 of the TSC Act (2012), which mandates that teachers found guilty of professional misconduct be deregistered.
With TSC Kenya being the sole employer of teachers in public schools, being deregistered means that these teachers are permanently banned from teaching in any learning institution in Kenya, whether public or private. The news is among the TSC breaking news on teachers promotion and discipline, reinforcing the Commission’s commitment to maintaining high professional standards in the education sector.
What is Teacher Deregistration?
Deregistration is the formal process where TSC Kenya removes a teacher’s name from the official TSC registration status. This means the individual is no longer allowed to teach in Kenya. Teachers can check their registration details through the TSC online services portal via the TSC website (www.tsc.go.ke).
Who Has Been Deregistered?
According to the latest TSC news, the following teachers have been removed from the TSC Kenya teaching register:
| S/N | TSC No | Case No | Name | Date of Removal |

Reasons for Teacher Deregistration
TSC does not take deregistration lightly. Some of the main reasons a teacher may be removed from the TSC register include:
1. Professional Misconduct
Teachers are required to uphold high ethical standards. Any case of gross misconduct, such as corporal punishment, sexual harassment, or abuse of office, can lead to disciplinary action, including deregistration.
2. Criminal Offenses
Teachers who are convicted of serious crimes, especially those that compromise student safety, face automatic deregistration. This is part of TSC Kenya’s efforts to ensure that only professionals of high integrity are entrusted with the responsibility of educating learners.
3. Gross Incompetence
A teacher who consistently underperforms, despite intervention efforts, may also face removal. TSC has systems such as TSC TPAD and TPAD2 to monitor teacher performance in schools.
4. Absconding Duty
If a teacher is absent from work for an extended period without official leave or TSC transfer online approval, they risk being removed from the TSC payroll and ultimately deregistered.
What Happens After Deregistration?
Teachers who have been deregistered will find that their TSC payslip online account is deactivated, and they can no longer access the TSC online services such as:
- TSC payslip downloads
- TSC application portal for recruitment
- TSC transfer online services
- TSC TPAD2 for performance appraisals
- TSC online registration for new teachers
Deregistered teachers who wish to appeal their removal must contact TSC Kenya through official channels, including the TSC contacts available on the TSC website (www.tsc.go.ke).
How Can Teachers Avoid Deregistration?
To remain in good standing with TSC Kenya, teachers should:
✔️ Maintain professionalism – Avoid any form of misconduct that could lead to disciplinary action.
✔️ Check their registration status regularly – Teachers can verify their status via the TSC online services portal.
✔️ Ensure compliance with TSC regulations – Adhering to policies such as TSC TPAD2 and performance assessments is crucial.
✔️ Use the TSC exit and entry portal properly – When leaving the profession, resigning, or requesting transfers, teachers should follow the correct procedure through the TSC exit and entry portal.
