TSC Announces Vacancies for 20,000 Intern Teachers; How to Apply

The Teachers Service Commission has advertised vacancies for 20,000 intern teachers.

Of the 20,000, 18,000 will be deployed at Junior Secondary Schools while the remaining 2,000 will go to public primary schools.

The recruitment seeks to support the Competency-based Curriculum that is in its maiden year for Grade 7.

The one-year Programme is meant to equip and sustain the competencies of persons entering the teaching service. Those who finish the programme successfully will be handed a certificate.

"Teacher interns attached to primary schools will be eligible for a monthly stipend of Sh15,000, while those attached to JSS will be eligible for a monthly stipend of Sh20,000," TSC said.

“The stipend will be paid subject to statutory deductions, where applicable."

For those interested in being a JSS intern teacher, a candidate must be a Kenyan citizen and a registered teacher with TSC.

The applicant must be a holder of at least a diploma in education with a minimum mean grade of C+ and C+ in two teaching subjects in KCSE or its equivalent.

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) and teachers from TVET institutions have also been encouraged to apply.

"To qualify as a Public Primary Teacher, a candidate must be a holder of a PI certificate, be a Kenyan citizen and be registered with TSC," TSC said.

“Teachers with upgrade diplomas in primary teacher education (CBC) will have an added advantage."

Those previously employed as interns or on permanent and pensionable terms are not eligible to apply.
