Teachers Service Commission Corrects Personal Information

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has finally corrected the name of a teacher following the intervention of the Commission under the Access to Information Act, 2016.

The teacher appealed for review under the ATI Ac, 2016, following failure by TSC to correct her name on the payslip and the medical scheme.

“I am Anet employed by TSC on permanent and pensionable terms. I have had an issue with how my name appears on the payslip and the medical scheme offered by TSC. I have tried contacting the Commission through email for the issue to be resolved. Attached please find the email and my Identification Card which I forwarded to the Commission for reference and assistance,” read an email from Ms. Anet to the Commission.

The Commission took up the matter with the Chief Executive Officer, TSC, on 20th May, 2024, requesting the Commission to respond to the request for correction of personal information.

“The Commission received an email dated 13th May, 2024, (enclosed) from the requestor, Ms Anet addressed to your office and copied to the Commission relating to correction of the spelling /sequence error in the name as per the payslip from your institution. We, therefore, request you to respond to the request for correction of personal information in line with Section 13 (1) of the ATI Act, 2016, as soon as possible and update the Commission on the status thereof,” read a letter from the Commission to TSC.

TSC, in a letter to the Commission on 14th June, 2024, confirmed the correction of the name.

“We wish to respond and state that the name has been corrected as per the personal file records. The amendment will reflect on the June 2024 payslip,” read a letter from TSC to the Commission.
