How to apply for TSC promotion
As a teacher, if you have been in the same position for
years, it might be easy to assume that TSC promotion comes along once in a
while. However, you have to do more than just thinking to make it to the next
level. So, which tutors are eligible for preferment and how do you apply for
it?
Teachers Service Commission (TSC), just like any other
government agency, periodically offers upgrades to some of its employees. Since
there isn’t a specific period where the elevations are announced, many prefer
searching for the latest TSC news on promotions of teachers with higher
qualifications now and then. While identifying these vacancies is easy, the
application procedure might be a little complicated.
