According to TSC, teachers who have served in acting institutional administrative roles receive additional marks.
Teachers who have remained in one job grade for an extended period are awarded higher scores.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has established a standardised scoring system to objectively assess candidates during promotion interviews to ensure merit-based advancement.
The scoring system considers factors such as stagnation, ratings in performance appraisal and development (TPAD), age, involvement in co-curricular activities such as games, drama, and music, as well as existing vacancies. Other considerations include gender representation in school administration, affirmative action for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), and progressive promotions in ASAL and hard-to-staff areas.
