The Teachers Service Commission workforce has not been spared by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and in response the Commission has developed a policy to address this crisis. The sub-sector policy aims at providing guidance to the management of employees who are infected and affected by HIV and AIDS and prevention of further infections. The sub-sector policy also defines the TSC's position and practices within the multisectoral response to HIV and AIDS pandemic. In addition, it provides guidance for those who deal with the day-to-day HIV and AIDS related issues and problems that arise within the TSC workplace and outlines employee's rights, responsibilities and expected behaviour in the workplace.The sub-sector policy covers key areas such as legal and regulatory framework, guiding principles, management of human resource, HIV and AIDS programmes in the workplace and their implementation.
