The scramble for about 13,000 teachers promotion slots has kicked off amid fears that this could be the last nail to sink the giant teachers union that has opposed the criteria to be used to move tutors to new grades.

In an advert released yesterday, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) says the promotions will be based on career progression guidelines (CPG) that has been subject of contention between the employer and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut).
