TSC Teacher Deployment Update 2023
TSC Teacher Deployment Update 2023. The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) has taken the proactive step of commencing the deployment process for the year 2023. They have done so by officially opening an accessible online portal. This portal specifically caters to primary school teachers seeking to make the transition to secondary education. Furthermore, it’s worth highlighting that they have re-announced 185 job vacancies, specifically emphasizing the Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa regions as a vital aspect of their committed teacher recruitment campaign.
Navigating the Latest Changes in Educational Staffing
Despite making numerous prior announcements, the TSC encounters a challenge as it has not received any applications, causing concerns about the potential impact on the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). This, in turn, could further worsen disparities within the education system. The TSC is well aware that one of the major obstacles in recruiting secondary school teachers is their reluctance to commit to specific areas, often due to concerns about compensation.
In response, the Ministry of Education has affirmed that this recruitment exercise will continue, aiming to bridge these gaps. Notably, you can access a document on the TSC website that outlines the ongoing opportunity for qualified teachers to apply. They will then assign these teachers to a rotation schedule to effectively manage staffing needs.
Shifting our focus to the progress achieved, the deployment process has successfully recruited over 21,365 teachers for primary schools through a one-year internship program. During the initial phase, the administration has granted permanent employment to 9,000 teachers, rendering them eligible for pensions and thereby bolstering job security.
With the introduction of the CBC program, the education system now benefits from approximately 30,365 teachers serving in public secondary schools nationwide. Additionally, there has been an influx of an additional 20,000 recently hired teachers. This significant development ensures that each junior school can boast a dedicated teacher, an essential step forward considering the total number of over 23,000 elementary schools in the educational landscape.
