Differences Between Outlook365 and Office365; How to Change from outlook365 To Office365

In the beginning of 2021, the Teachers Service Commission,TSC, introduced an e-platform for official emails. All teachers employed by TSC and those undergoing internship programmes were targeted.

The commission directed that heads of institution, and teachers including those serving under internship programme to activate their email accounts on TSC portal. Activated emails will be used for all communications from the Commission.

The official email should take the format of the teacher’s name, the last two digits of the TSC number @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke.
