TSC Portal Open for Teacher Deployment to Junior School
Ensuring Quality Education Through Strategic Teacher Deployment
Are you a teacher aspiring to make a significant impact by transitioning from primary to secondary education?
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has opened its portal, presenting a golden opportunity for teachers seeking deployment to junior schools.
In this guide, we will walk you through the process of applying for deployment in TSC, shedding light on the key steps and considerations.
1. TSC Portal Unveiled: A Gateway to New Opportunities
The TSC portal, designed for instructors eyeing a shift from primary to secondary education, is now live and actively accepting applications.
As per TSC’s official communication, the recruitment process is ongoing and teachers meeting the necessary qualifications are encouraged to apply continuously.
The commission emphasizes that the portal for application for deployment to junior schools remains open, signaling a sustained effort to enhance the quality of education in secondary institutions.
2. Key Statistics: Understanding the Educational Landscape
A glimpse at the TSC’s recent accomplishments reveals that 21,365 teachers have already been recruited through a one-year internship program for primary schools.
Impressively, 9,000 of these teachers have secured permanent positions, making them eligible for pensions.
This brings the total number of instructors actively contributing to junior high schools across the nation to approximately 30,365.
Given that there are slightly more than 23,000 primary schools, it can be inferred that each school boasts a dedicated junior school tutor.
This highlights the widespread reach and impact of TSC’s initiatives in bolstering the teaching force in secondary education.
3. Unfilled Vacancies: Addressing Challenges in Specific Regions
In the course of hiring new teachers, TSC faced a challenge in filling 185 vacancies in the provinces of Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa.
Despite re-advertising the positions, no applications were received.
This gap in recruitment poses a threat to the effective implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and exacerbates existing disparities in the education system.
TSC acknowledges that a notable hurdle in recruiting teachers for junior secondary schools is the reluctance of some educators to accept internship positions in specific locations, primarily due to concerns about the size of the stipend.
This underscores the need for strategic measures to attract and retain quality educators in all regions, ensuring a balanced distribution of teaching talent.
