1000 Teachers To Get Employment Letters: Here Is The Salary And Distribution Per County

More than 1,000 primary school teachers are set to be issued employment and depositing letters from October 2021. TSC advertised recruitment vacancies in July 2021 for teachers wishing to join the commission to apply.

The Teachers Service Commission has of late been making the teachers happy through promotions. However, this joy is for only the teachers who have furthered their studies and got the certificates of higher education.

The majority of the teachers have been promoted to administrative positions as senior teachers, deputy headteachers, and headteachers.

TSC advertised 1,995 internship posts for both primary and secondary school teachers. 1,038 slots were for primary school and 957 posts were for secondary school.

Currently, the teachers are eagerly waiting for their deployment letters in the recently advertised 1000 posts. TSC in its roadmap clearly stated that these teachers would report to schools by the 1st of September. However, these teachers may wait longer for their deployment letters.

In the 2019 deployment, the teachers applied in August and were to join schools in January 2020. Unfortunately, the majority received their letters in March. The same happened in last year’s deployment where some teachers received their letters as late as July this year.

The 9000 teachers under normal recruitment who applied at the same time as the practicing primary school teachers are already receiving their letters but the teachers waiting for deployment have not started receiving theirs. Going by the previous two trends, these teachers may wait longer than the TSC date that has already passed.
