TSC Promotion Score Sheet for 19,433 School Head Positions.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released the guidelines it will use to evaluate candidates for the 19,433 school head positions recently advertised.
The framework highlights the specific areas of assessment and the scoring methodology for interviews scheduled for 2024.
Criteria Overview
The matrix provided by TSC details the parameters for awarding marks to candidates.
It emphasizes academic qualifications, career progression, technical expertise, management acumen, performance over the last three years, involvement in co-curricular activities, general knowledge, and behavioral attributes.
