TSC numbers where they belong
The Teachers Service Commission number is a field on the teacher record, not a note in a comment box. Staff returns and compliance checks stop being a search through a filing cabinet.

Built for Kenyan staffing, down to the TSC number.

Why it matters
Departments that mean something
Teachers belong to departments, subjects are allocated through them, and teaching load rolls up by department — so a head of department has a real view of their own staff rather than an informal one.
Employment terms recorded properly
Full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, intern and volunteer are distinct, as are active, on leave, suspended, retired, resigned and terminated. A teacher on leave disappears from allocation without disappearing from the record.
Staff records in a Kenyan school carry obligations that generic international software does not anticipate. The TSC number is not optional metadata; it is the thing an inspector asks for.
Msomi holds it on the teacher record alongside contact details, qualifications, department membership and employment terms. Employment type and employment status are separate, deliberately: a part-time teacher and a suspended teacher are different situations, and a system that collapses them into one “inactive” flag loses information the school needs.
Departments
Teachers belong to departments, and departments own subjects. That relationship is what allows teaching load to be summarised for a head of department, allocation to be planned within a subject area, and a deputy to see at a glance where the school is under-resourced before the timetable is built rather than after.
