It’s bad news for unemployed teachers who didn’t secure internship contract in the latest changes on TSC scoresheet. These teachers will not be considered when inviting applicants if the latest Scoresheet is anything to go by.
According to the teachers’ commission only top five applicants will be invited by schools in every slot advised. Case study from previous employment clearly show that no teacher without this marks will come any close to top five. This move has completely isolated these group of teachers without the internship marks.
Several changes have been made in this year’s mark scheme. Maximum internship marks has been slashed from 30 to 15 marks. This will only serve those who have worked for 3 years. Those who have been in intern for 2 years and 1 year will score 10 and 5 marks respectively.
It is also important to note that teachers with disabilities use a different score sheet as shown below;
