Key Takeaways
- The removal is published under section 30 of the TSC Act (2012).

What the TSC deregistered teachers list means
When the Commission publishes a list of deregistered teachers, it publicly records removals from the official Register of Teachers. The effect is immediate: those named are prohibited from teaching until their status is lawfully restored. Schools, parents, and school boards should use the list to confirm that a teacher offered for employment is registered and eligible to teach.

What schools and employers should do
School managers and employers must check teacher registration before hiring. Keep simple steps in place:
- Verify a teacher’s name against the official TSC register before appointment.
- Require current registration documentation as part of the employment file.
- Immediately halt teaching duties for any staff found on a deregistration list and notify the Commission for clarification.
What affected teachers should consider
Teachers named on the list should consult the Commission promptly to understand grounds for removal and any steps for appeal or reinstatement. Maintaining accurate records and staying informed about registration requirements can reduce risk of deregistration.
Where to find support and resources
Teachers, school heads, and parents may find useful study and professional resources while resolving registration issues. For curriculum and exam support, consider the following resources:
- CBC exam resources and practice papers — useful for teachers preparing learners under the Competency Based Curriculum.
- Diploma in Education past papers — helpful for teachers studying for professional qualifications or refresher courses.
- KCSE exam resources — useful for secondary school teachers and revision planning.
Frequently asked questions

A: Publication records the current removal from the Register. Reinstatement or appeals depend on the outcome of any processes with the Commission.
Q: Can a school employ a person on the list in a non-teaching role?
A: Any person removed from the Register is restricted from teaching. Non-teaching employment should still be assessed against legal and ethical considerations and the Commission’s guidance.
