In a stern warning to teachers across the nation, the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) has issued a statement cautioning against fraudulent activities targeting educators seeking employment, transfers, promotions, and pension services. The commission emphasized that it does not levy any charges for these essential services, reiterating its commitment to transparency and fairness as outlined in its Service Delivery Charter.
The TSC’s statement comes in response to reports of unscrupulous individuals and entities exploiting teachers by falsely claiming to represent the commission and charging exorbitant fees for various employment-related services. These scams not only drain teachers’ financial resources but also undermine the integrity of the recruitment and employment process.
The Commissioner emphasized, on X post that, “The Teacher Service Commission operates under strict guidelines to ensure that teachers are not subjected to any financial burden when accessing our services. Any individual or organization claiming otherwise is engaging in fraudulent activity and should be reported immediately.”
The TSC urged teachers to remain vigilant and verify the authenticity of any communication or service purportedly offered by the commission. Teachers were advised to consult official channels such as the TSC website, regional offices, or authorized personnel for accurate information and assistance.
Furthermore, the commission assured teachers that it remains committed to upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in its operations. Efforts are underway to enhance awareness among teachers regarding their rights and entitlements, as well as to strengthen mechanisms for reporting and addressing fraudulent activities.
In light of the TSC’s warning, teachers are encouraged to stay informed, exercise caution, and report any suspicious activities to the relevant authorities. By working together to combat fraud, the TSC and the teaching community aim to safeguard the interests and well-being of educators across the country.
