A good number of newly recruited teachers from various counties have received their letters. According to a statement by Macharia, all the successful applicants will receive their letters by end of next week. However, sources from TSC revealed that the letters of most of the new teachers are already at their county offices.

Newly recruited secondary school teachers have been deployed in the schools where they won the interviews. Most Newly recruited primary school teachers have been deployed within their home counties, unlike in the past, where they were being deployed outside the counties they applied in. To obtain their letters, the newly recruited primary school teachers should confirm their counties of employment at their TSC county directors’ offices, after which they should head to the TSC county director’s office in the counties where they have been employed to get deployed and receive their letters. It is only after being assigned to a school that the newly recruited primary school teachers will receive their recruitment letters.

Newly recruited Secondary school teachers who have not received their letters should check with postal addresses they indicated in their recruitment forms or with the schools where they were employed. If the letters are not their then they should check with the county director of education in the counties where they were employed.

The duties and responsibilities of the newly recruited and promoted teachers shall be guided by the provisions of the teachers service commission act (2012), code of regulation for teachers (2015), code of conduct and ethics for teachers (2015), career progression guidelines for teachers (2018) and any other legislative instruments, policies and administrative circulars issued by the commission from time to time.

The teachers Service Commission (TSC) has failed to advertise the deployment of practicing p1 teachers wishing to be promoted to secondary schools, as it has done in the past few recruitments.

This is even as the Commission targets to employ a total of 14,460 teachers in July 2022. In its advert early this week, TSC wanted qualified teachers to apply for the posts in primary, secondary schools and Teacher Training Colleges (TTCS).

Among the vacancies declared by the commission were; 5,000 teaching vacancies to support the government policy on 100 percent transition of learners from primary to secondary schools and to address the existing teacher shortage, 8,230 vacancies to replace teachers who exited service through natural attrition (6,539 posts for primary schools and 1,691 posts for secondary schools), 844 teaching jobs in North Eastern region. The teachers recruited will serve on Permanent and Pensionable terms of service.

It is however disturbing that practicing P1 teachers with degrees in education (secondary option), were ignored in the latest advert.

According to the sources privy to the TSC, the commission is not yet done with advertising recruitment and promotion vacancies.  It is yet to complete advertising more recruitment and promotion vacancies.

ii) Be a holder of a P1 Certificate;

iii) Be a holder of a Bachelor’s Degree in Education with 2 teaching subjects;
