The TSC chairman Jamleck Muturi has announced new jobs opportunities for teachers.
The Chairman revealed this on 28th Wednesday June, 2023 at the 46th Kenya Secondary School Heads Association annual national conference in Mombasa.
Muturi noted the commission got an increased budget of Sh323.7 billion in the 2023/ 2024 financial year which is Sh24 billion more than what was allocated in 2022/2023.
Out of the amount, Sh4.6 billion will be used to employ 20,000 teacher interns to help address the teacher shortage situation in schools.
“By next week, we will be advertising for these positions so that those who qualify can apply,” Said Muturi as he addressed principals.
Another positive response from Muturi is that about Sh1 billion has been set aside for the promotion of teachers, including principals who have stagnated for a long time.
The TSC noted the commission want motivated principals.
Another Sh1.3 billion will be used to capacity-build teachers for the Competence Based Curriculum CBC.
The commission, Muturi detailed, has also trained 163, 938 teachers on implementation of remote learning RL across the country.
This means a teacher who teaches at Nairobi High School can be able to remotely teach students at St Joseph High School using technology.
According to Muturi, this is meant to help deal with the teacher shortage situation that we have in the country.
