I hear you’re excited about the latest buzz on the TSC teacher recruitment for 2024.
It’s true – the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is gearing up for an exciting recruitment drive next week, confirmed by none other than the TSC Chairman, Jamleck Muturi himself.
Let’s get you up to speed:
- “In the last Financial Year, we hired 36,000 new teachers, and in the next Financial Year, we will hire an additional 25,000 teachers,” shared Education CS Ezekiel Machogu at the 46th Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) Conference in Mombasa.
- The whopping Sh316.7 billion from the 2023–24 budget is all set for this mammoth drive, which makes up half of the total Sh628.6 billion education budget.
- There’s even $4.8 billion specifically ear-marked to bring on board 20,000 student teachers. How cool is that?
Machogu reassures us, “We will put these teachers in our schools in a way that is fair.”
Further confirming the Kenya Kwanza government’s full commitment to elevating the education sector.
The spotlight is on the TSC, which under President William Ruto’s government, has scored the largest chunk of the education budget. Now, that’s commitment.
Jamleck Muturi didn’t hold back either, confirming that “TSC got a good lot of money… Sh4.6 billion has been set aside for hiring 20,000 teachers on contract. By next week, we’ll put up an ad so that qualified people can apply for these jobs.”
The TSC’s CEO Nancy Macharia is optimistic about the upcoming recruitment of 20,000 intern teachers.
She says, “These teachers are expected to reduce the shortage in our public schools but more importantly, ensure that learners receive quality education.”
The ripple effect of this move is huge:
- It opens up job opportunities for the country’s youth and could uplift numerous households.
- A comprehensive medical cover is in the offing for teachers and their dependants, which is a significant step towards better healthcare.
- The TSC is all about enhancing morale, job satisfaction, and career growth.
Despite some teachers feeling stuck due to the lack of promotions leading to demotivation and low productivity, Macharia is quick to address this issue.
She says, “This state of affairs in turn affects the provision of quality education to learners.”
She confirms that TSC has Sh2.2 billion for promotions and Sh2.1 billion for teacher professional development.
So, are you ready to join this exciting journey of shaping the future of our children?
The upcoming TSC teacher recruitment is your chance to make a difference in education.
Watch out for those ads and don’t miss this golden opportunity.
After all, as Robert John Meehan rightly put it, “The most valuable resource that all teachers have is each other.”
Let’s make teaching even more meaningful.
