In today's digital age, the convenience of accessing information online has become an integral part of our daily lives.
Whether it's checking the status of a delivery or tracking financial transactions, the internet offers a plethora of tools to simplify tasks.
Similarly, for teachers under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya, the ability to check their employment status online provides a streamlined approach to stay updated on crucial career information.
TSC regularly advertises vacancies for teachers on its online portal. This portal facilitates the application process and enables candidates to track their application status at every stage until appointment.
