TSC To Promote P1 Teachers In A Fresh Mass Deployment Exercise

Diploma and master’s degree teachers now have a reason to smile because TSC has a wonderful plan that will see them promoted to Junior secondary schools to curb the looming teacher shortages.

The 2023 double transition is a challenge to the Government. Unlike in previous deployments, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, in its latest plan will promote P1 teachers with various qualifications and who meet the standards to teach in secondary school.

Teachers who went back to school are going to be rewarded. TSC is promoting teachers to administrative positions while others with degrees in the secondary options are being deployed to secondary schools.

Primary teachers who hold bachelor’s degrees in education, secondary option, and those with Diploma in Education have now assured teaching in secondary schools after TSC made public its plans to deploy more teachers in its latest report.

The teachers with Diploma have remained in darkness since TSC do give priority to degrees and Masters. However, even the master’s degree has no job group in TSC, so it is normally considered as an added advantage during the interviews.

TCS was hard-pressed to issue its report on the status of preparedness ahead of CBC transition classes and the looming double intake 2023.

In a report on teacher’s preparedness Competence-Based Curriculum implementation which was presented before the parliamentary Committee, TSC said that it will deploy P1 teachers who hold Diplomas, Higher Diplomas undergraduate degrees, postgraduate diplomas, masters, and PHDs to teach at junior secondary schools.

Currently, the Ministry of Education is working to upgrade selected primary schools to junior secondary schools. Primary schools with established infrastructure that can host a junior secondary school wing will be upgraded.

Those that are under-enrolled in proximity will be merged and in fracture of one of them improved.

Job seekers hoping to join the commission on permanent terms say that by increasing the marks of interns from 10 to 30 in the hiring process, the employer is literally locking out those who have never had a chance to work as apprentices but still possess the appropriate credentials.
