The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has refuted claims that over 46,000 applicants were locked out of the current teacher recruitment process due to technical issues.

In response, the TSC has acknowledged the challenges and assured the public that the issue is being addressed.

The Teachers Service Commission has announced the recruitment of 46,000 teachers on a permanent and pensionable basis to address the shortage of educators across the country.

The initiative is aimed at improving staffing in primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary schools, where the demand for qualified teachers remains high.

Out of the 46,000 available positions, 39,550 roles are designated for junior secondary schools, reflecting the growing need in that sector.

Primary schools will benefit from 6,000 new teachers, while 450 positions have been reserved for senior secondary schools.

This recruitment is part of the government’s strategy to enhance education quality by filling vacancies across various levels of the school system.

In light of the technical challenges applicants encounter, the TSC has urged for patience as its technical team works on restoring the portal.

Some applicants have expressed concerns and suggested the option of physical applications to ease the congestion on the site.

Applicants can submit their applications online via the TSC’s official website, http://tsc.go.ke, with the deadline set for October 7, 2024.
