The move comes after challenges in the system affected the timely completion and submission of TPAD reports by teachers and school administrators.

Many teachers had raised concerns over difficulties accessing the online platform, prompting the commission to grant additional time for schools to finalize the appraisal process. 

The extension is expected to give teachers enough time to complete pending tasks and ensure that all required records are submitted correctly.

At the same time, TSC is gearing up for a large-scale recruitment exercise aimed at addressing teacher shortages in schools. 

Thousands of teaching positions are expected to be filled, with Junior School institutions among the key beneficiaries.

Education stakeholders have welcomed the extension, saying it will reduce pressure on teachers who were racing against the earlier deadline. 

They also noted that accurate TPAD records are important as the commission continues to monitor teacher performance and plan staffing needs.

Teachers are now encouraged to use the extra days wisely and ensure all appraisal details are updated before the new deadline. Schools have also been urged to support staff in completing the process without delays.
