The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has criticized the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for its failure to promote teachers who have remained in a single job group for over a decade. KUPPET demands automatic promotions for these teachers, citing the recent policy shift by the National Police Service (NPS).

• KUPPET Secretary General Akello Misori urged TSC to emulate the NPS's decision to offer automatic promotions without interviews or advertised vacancies.
• The NPS recently announced automatic promotions for police officers who have served for over 10 years in a single job group, with the promotional age lowered from 53 to 50.
• Officers who have served as corporals, sergeants, or constables for more than 15 years and are 50 years old will be promoted, as will inspectors with over 10 years of service at 50 years old.
