Government Spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has revealed that the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) will be hiring an additional 6,000 teachers.

Speaking during a press briefing on Monday, January 20, Mwaura detailed that the 6,000 teachers will be employed to assist with the implementation of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC).

He noted that the plans were also in line with the preparation for the Grade 10 class which will be the inaugural class of the Senior Secondary School (SSS).

Exact details of the recruitment including the date for the opening application of the portal will be announced in due course.

“The Government is actively addressing teacher shortages and supporting the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) transition. To date, the government has employed 56,000 permanent and pensionable teachers, along with 20,000 interns, to strengthen the education workforce. Additionally, 8,707 teachers have been replaced to ensure continuity in learning,” read the statement in part.

“To further enhance the transition to CBC, the government plans to employ another 6,000 teachers in due course. This effort demonstrates our commitment to providing quality education and adequate staffing for a seamless implementation of the curriculum to ensure every Kenyan child has access to well-trained educators and a robust learning environment.”

On the other hand, the government cautioned principals and school heads against introducing new school levies.

Mwaura noted that many parents had complained during the recent school opening, further promising action against the school administrators.

“The government has noted concerns regarding the reintroduction of banned levies in some senior schools,” he added.

“The administration reiterates that such practices are strictly prohibited, and appropriate action will be taken against any school administrators found to be in violation of this directive.”
