The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will deploy 1,000 successful p1 graduate teachers to high school this financial year.
TSC said the teachers will help in supporting the 100 percent transition from primary to secondary schools.
Last month TSC ended the 2019 to 2020 deployment of graduate p1 teachers after exhausting all the deployment letters.
“The deployment were concluded and letters for successful candidates communicated through the County Directors. Those without deployment letters should consider themselves unsuccessful. Kindly liase with your County Directors office,” TSC replied after inquiry for more deployment letters by a teacher.
TSC had advertised 1,000 deployment posts in 2019 and another 1,000 in September last year.
Those deployed will start at job grade C2 at salary scale 34,955 per month and will move to job grade C3 upon completion of three years as stipulated in Career Progression Guidelines for teachers (CPG).
“Successful candidates under this category shall be appointed at T-Scale 7, Grade C2 under the Career Progression Guidelines for Teachers and shall be deployed to secondary schools where vacancies exist,” TSC said in the advert.
TSC database shows at least 6,347 primary school teachers have degree with C+ at KCSE and C+ in the two teaching subjects hence qualify to teach in secondary school.
TSC highlighted the following requirements for one to qualify for promotion and deployment to secondary school;
i) Be a Kenyan citizen;
