TSC CEO Nancy Macharia announced that the recruiting campaign will seek to fill the opening positions of schools for the 2022/2023 academic year, which will also see many transitions to other grades and levels.
Macharia announced that she explained that the trainees will be assigned to the county’s sub-secondary schools that admit the majority of students. Currently, the country has a teacher deficit of 114,581.
To facilitate the hiring process, TSC’s CEO said the National Treasury has approved the release of Ksh 1.2 billion for the next academic year.
“I want to assure the country that the Commission will immediately engage in the teacher recruitment exercise to ensure they arrive for work as soon as possible, to alleviate the current shortage of teachers in schools,” said TSC’s CEO.
Macharia explained that the Commission has so far hired a total of 28,000 employees since 2019, when the government began funding the internship recruitment process.
Interested applicants will be directed by TSC on how and where to apply for positions.
TSC also announced the training of 60,000 teachers as of April 25 this year. The training will be aimed at sharpening their understanding of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC).
Macharia assured the country that the training will help teachers acquire relevant skills and knowledge before the first batch of lower secondary school students are admitted.
“The public should be confident that all of our secondary school teachers will have been prepared by January [2023] to accommodate lower secondary school students,” announced Macharia.
In addition, 229,292 primary school teachers will be trained on the CBC.
Additional opportunities for teachers will be further announced when 1,594 school heads, who were supposed to retire in 2020 or 2021 but have extended their contracts to avoid a leadership crisis due to the pandemic, retire
