Teacher Recruitment to Occur at Zonal Level
The motion which directed the teachers service commission, TSC to amend its recruitment policy has not been received well by the cartels who have been interfering with teacher recruitment exercise.
This week, the Mps voted unanimously in favour of the motion dubbed “Review of Teacher Deployment Policy”, a motion which was sponsored by Lurambi Mp Titus Khamala.
Thereafter, TSC was ordered to review its teacher recruitment policy so that the employment of teachers starts at zonal level.
“Review the teacher recruitment policy with a view to devolving it to zonal level as the point of recruitment,” read the motion.

For a very long time, unemployed teachers have protested injustices conducted by some TSC officials who are said to be part of recruitment cartels.
There have been complaints over some TSC Regional, County and Sub County Directors who together with their Human Resource Officers and Curriculum Support Officers who have awarded employment opportunities to undeserving teachers after receiving bribes.
With employment at zonal level, this will end as they will no longer import teachers from other counties at the expense of the local teachers.
