TSC responds over banning primary school teachers from teaching in JSS
TSC) has issued a warning over a fake letter circulating on social media regarding the deployment of primary school teachers (P1) to Junior Secondary Schools (JSS)
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has issued a warning over a fake letter circulating on social media regarding the deployment of primary school teachers (P1) to Junior Secondary Schools (JSS).
The letter indicated that the commission had learnt that headteachers had assigned P1 teachers to JSS, a move that would be contrary to existing policy guidelines.
The fake circular added that as schools open in January, no P1 teachers would be allowed to teach in JSS, adding that headteachers would face disciplinary action for non-compliance.
“Please ensure that teaching assignments align with TSC guidelines and qualifications. Any concerns should be addressed through the appropriate channels provided by the TSC,” the fake letter read in part.
However, in an update on Friday, December 27, TSC clarified that the letter is fraudulent and does not reflect the commission’s official communication or directives.
The commission emphasized the importance of relying only on official communication channels to verify such information.

“Please beware of the fake post circulating on social media. Remember to always verify information from our communication channels,” TSC said.
TSC is an independent government body established under Article 237 of the Constitution to manage human resources within the education sector.
Its primary functions include registering trained teachers, recruiting and employing registered teachers, assigning them to public schools or institutions, promoting and transferring teachers, exercising disciplinary control, and terminating employment when necessary.
Additionally, the TSC reviews the standards of education and training for individuals entering the teaching profession, assesses the demand for and supply of teachers, and advises the national government on matters related to the teaching profession.
