Schools heads will not serve their counties again. According to TSC boss, the school bosses will no longer enjoy home leadership.


Primary head-teachers, secondary school and college principals will no longer serve in their home counties, their employer says.

The Teachers Service Commission on Tuesday said the managers would also not serve in one station for more than nine years.

Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia said the new policy for delocalisation would improve the cohesion of Kenya's diverse culture.

"Those who lack the required academic qualifications will be given time to go back to school," said Dr Macharia.

The headteachers have been given a grace period of thinking which counties could work better for them apart from Major cities.  The TSC boss has also warned the school managers over the school gross misconduct.
