The Teachers Service Commission has embarked on the digitization of the records at its headquarters.
The new move is expected to end the issue of paper files as TSC seeks to streamline service delivery to the teachers across the nation.
Cases of missing files or files taking too long to be located will be a thing of the past following the development.
On Friday, TSC chairperson Lydia Nzomo said that the commission has now decided to kick off the exercise of uploading all the files for teachers online to make it easier to access them from the comfort of the couch.
She said that it will be easier to convert the files to a digital form so that they can be accessed with ease whenever they are needed for use.
Through the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS), it will be easier to provide services to teachers from different institutions.
Nzomo said that the digital filing will transform the lives of teachers at TSC.
“This is anticipated to improve access to files by more than one user at the same time. This has been a big challenge for the commission as access to the manual files has been limited to only one user at a time,” she said.
The issue of missing has been resolved to make it easier for pension payment among other concerns.
