How a Teacher can transition from TSC to Public Service Commission (PSC): Moving from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to a position offered by the Public Service Commission (PSC) marks a significant milestone in a teacher’s career journey.

This transition involves transferring previous service records and employment history. It also requires understanding the procedure, which is crucial.

Here’s a detailed look at the process:

Initiate the Transfer of Service Application

Upon accepting a job offer from the PSC, the teacher begins by applying for a Transfer of Service. This application formally requests the transfer of employment records from the TSC to the new ministry. The application typically includes several documents:

A copy of the appointment letter that the Public Service Commission issued
Acceptance of the Offer Letter: A signed copy of the acceptance letter indicating the teacher’s willingness to join the new ministry.
TSC Clearance Certificate: This certificate, provided by the Teachers’ Service Commission, verifies that there are no outstanding issues or liabilities with the Commission.

Processing by the Public Service Commission

Upon receiving the Transfer of Service application, the Public Service Commission takes over the process. They carefully evaluate the application and verify the submitted documents.

This step ensures that all paperwork is complete and that there are no unresolved issues from the teacher’s previous service with the TSC.

Submission to the Relevant Ministry or Department

Once the Public Service Commission completes the processing of the Transfer of Service documentation, they forward it to the relevant ministry or department where the teacher will be employed. This marks the official transfer of the teacher’s service history to the new employer under the PSC.

Navigating this process effectively is essential for a smooth transition from the TSC to the PSC. Any teacher transitioning must follow these steps. They should also ensure that all necessary documents are submitted.

Teachers can facilitate the transfer of their service records and seamlessly transition to their new role within the public service. However, this is only possible if the offer at PSC is on permanent and pensionable terms.

Any teacher who secures a job that is not permanent and pensionable must first resign from TSC before accepting the job offer. That is why it is always a huge risk to transition from TSC to Public Service Commission to accept a temporary job.
