Are you aspiring to secure a teaching position with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in 2023?
Understanding the intricacies of the TSC Current Score Sheet is crucial.
In this comprehensive guide, we break down the key factors, providing insights into the best marketable subject combinations, score sheets for different qualifications, and the advantage of co-curricular participation.
Best Marketable TSC Subjects Combination
Increase your chances of landing a TSC job by opting for subjects in high demand.
Subjects like Physics/Chemistry, Biology/Agriculture, and Chemistry/Biology stand out due to their scarcity.
TSC tends to absorb teachers in these combinations more readily, making them the ideal choices for prospective teachers.
TSC Score Sheet for Post-Primary Teachers
For graduate and master’s degree holders, the TSC has outlined a score sheet to assess qualifications.
The scoring areas include the class of the degree obtained, with distinctions earning the highest marks, followed by credits and passes.
Additionally, the score sheet considers the applicant’s age, rewarding those above 50 years with the highest marks.
The length of stay since qualifying as a teacher is also a critical factor, with a maximum score of 70.
