The Teachers Service Commission continues to work in ensuring that the education sector becomes stronger as it posts rigorously trained Primary Teacher Education teachers into junior schools. With the impending closure of the application portal meant for P1 teachers seeking deployment, TSC has assured Kenyans it is still working towards ending the acute teacher shortage in junior secondary schools. This move will not improve the quality of education but guarantee career progression to the qualified teachers. Let us now dive into details of this deployment drive and what it means to the education scene in Kenya.

Quick Summary:

  • TSC to close the application portal for deployment of P1 teachers to junior schools.
  • Deployment aims to alleviate teacher shortage and enhance the quality of education.
  • Qualified primary school teachers with relevant qualifications encouraged to apply before the deadline.

The high demand for junior secondary school educators has seen TSC announce the immediate closure of its application portal for deployment of P1 teachers. The slots to be filled in this deployment are 6,000. This is occasioned by the desire to bridge the capacity that exists in the demand and supply of teachers in Grade 7, 8, and 9. This is a proactive move geared towards achieving the TSC mission of ensuring that every learner access quality education support from responsible and committed teachers.

The deployment thus avails great career development opportunities for those teachers at primary with the right qualifications, as well as those who had the need to emulate teaching in the junior schools. Teaching in junior secondary schools will thus be instrumental in extending the professional field for the educators, availing them due enhancement of their knowledge and improved integrated capabilities of learners in Grade 7, 8, and 9. This deployment is also a stepping stone for further careers within the teaching fraternity.

TSC provides the process of deployment by stating document verification before the process is initiated; it assures to make sure the candidates presented are genuine and also professionally qualified. An eligible teacher is expected to apply before the deadline date whence, afterward, TSC starts the process of verification and posting. Since the TSC deploys teachers via the jumbo, the online avenues have made it less hectic in good communication and coordination among the stakeholders concerned in the exercise.

To fast-track the process of deploying teachers and ensure that field teachers receive their pay on time, TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia gave specific instructions to the Sub County Directors and Primary Headteachers. The posting, entry, and exit reports using digital platforms make the use of less paperwork, thus increasing efficiency in operations by TSC. This is portrayed by the activeness of TSC in trying to handle the operational challenges and meet the demand of the ever-changing sector of education.

TSC highlights posting teachers with SNE, the-incapacitated to post in Special junior secondary schools. This kind of posting makes much difference as it embraces features of selectivity. It caters to learners’ varied educational needs through the support strategies prescribed in the Education Act. TSC, therefore, administratively acknowledges the need to post teachers who can help meet some specific educational requirements, which might lead to a supportive learning environment for all kinds of students.
