harmonize the promotion. The objectives of th
e study sought to establish the relationship between TSC career
development policies, to also find out the relationship between teacher

and to examine the relationship between the public service employee development
policies. The significance of the
study was to provide knowledge to the government and TSC in order to come up with policies that ensu
re the
prompt career progression of teachers. The scope of the study confined itself to all public secondar
y schools in
