TSC Bars Some Diploma & Degree Teachers from JSS Deployment

TSC Bars Some Diploma & Degree Teachers from JSS Deployment. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has set a March 18, 2024, deadline for applications as it opens 6,000 positions to transition P1 teachers into Junior Secondary Schools (JSS). This move targets primary school teachers with specific qualifications to step into roles within junior secondary settings, aiming to address the critical shortage as the second term approaches.

TSC specifies that only primary school teachers holding diplomas or pursuing degrees in secondary education will be considered for these junior secondary teaching posts. This decision leaves out teachers with qualifications in areas like Special Needs Education (SNE), Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE), and primary education, both at diploma and degree levels.

The list of ineligible qualifications includes:

– Diploma in Special Needs Education (SNE)

– Degree in Special Needs Education (SNE)

– Diploma in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE)

– Degree in Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE)

– Diploma in Education with a primary focus

– Degree in Education with a primary focus

– Diploma in Education (Secondary option) without requisite grades

– Degree in Education (Secondary option) without requisite grades

– Any diploma or degree not aligned with secondary education criteria

This initiative not only aims to fill the gap in junior secondary staffing but also promises enhanced salaries for P1 teachers transitioning to JSS roles, marking a significant step in their professional growth. The TSC’s stringent criteria underscore the commitment to quality education delivery in junior secondary schools. Aligning teacher qualifications with the educational needs of these learners.
