Applications should be completed in TRIPLICATE, with two copies forwarded to the County Director/Staffing Officer through the head of the institution for recommendation and distribution: (i) Original to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), (ii) One copy to the TSC County Director/Staffing Officer. No teacher should move from one station to another until they receive a letter of transfer from the Commission/TSC County Director/Staffing Officer. Typically, transfer requests are only considered after serving a minimum of five years at the current station, except under specific conditions outlined by the regulations.
