Is this the official TSC calendar?

No. We are not TSC. Every date here is taken from a named Kenyan news report or the Ministry calendar as reported, and each row says so. When we could open a TSC page we used it. For anything that affects your pay or posting, confirm on the official TSC portal as well.

Why are some deadlines missing?

Because nobody has announced them yet, or we could not confirm them on a page. We list those under waiting for a date. We never estimate a date.

How do I get a note when a new deadline is published?

Use the teacher alerts box on this page. Give your email address, confirm it from the email we send, and we write when TSC publishes a deadline or notice. We never ask for your TSC number, ID number or password.

A date here looks wrong. What should I do?

Write to us with the TSC circular or news link and we will check it and correct the page. The date we last checked is shown on every row.
