TSC Commissioners to have standard retirement terms to curb quorum challenges
It has now emerged that TSC commissioners will serve in office for equal number of years. The government strategically advertised two positions out of seven vacancies in the teachers’ service commission, TSC to ensure standardization of retirement dates of the commissioners.
This standardization will ensure that there are no issues concerning lack of quorum in the commission in future, thus no sensitive TSC operations will be affected.
