The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has advertised a total of 3,854 replacements for primary and secondary schools to replace teachers who exited service.
In the advert TSC said 2,927 posts will go to primary schools while 927 will go to secondary schools.
TSC also advertised 5,000 teaching posts for secondary schools, however 1,000 posts will go to practicing P1 teachers who have bachelors degree with C+ in KCSE and C+ in the two teaching subjects.
Successful P1 teacher applicants will be deployed to teach in high school.
TSC directed qualified candidates to submit their applications online through the Commission’s website, www.tsc. go.keunder ‘Careers’ or teacheronline.tsc.go.ke not later than 12th July, 2021.
Its our hope that TSC will use the replacements to confirm intern teachers.
Last year TSC failed to automatically confirm intern teachers and only awarded them ten marks for the service.
