TSC requires 137,000 more Secondary School Teachers

The Ministry of Education, (MoE) has revealed that more than 137,000 additional teachers are required in secondary schools to bridge severe staffing gaps.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba disclosed the figures during the Teacher Education Conference in Mombasa, where over 600 stakeholders were in-attendance.

According to TSC data, junior secondary schools are short of 72,422 teachers, while senior secondary schools face a deficit of 65,070. This translates to nearly 49 per cent and 33 per cent staffing gaps respectively, with the shortage most acute in science, vocational, and STEM subjects.

CS Ogamba said the shortage is driven by growing student enrolment and the demands of Competency-Based Education (CBE). He stressed that addressing the crisis requires sustained recruitment, policy reforms, and investment in training programmes.

Despite the shortfall, the supply pipeline is struggling to keep up. Public diploma colleges can admit about 49,000 teacher trainees, while universities have enrolled more than 183,000 students in education programmes. However, most are concentrated in arts and science education, leaving gaps in specialized fields.

Placement data from KUCCPS shows that 68,972 students joined education degree programmes in the 2025/2026 cycle, 40 per cent of all degree admissions. Yet, a backlog of 369,430 registered but unemployed teachers remains, even as TSC manages a workforce of 431,831.

The Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms has recommended raising entry requirements for pre-service training, upgrading certificate teachers to diploma level, and establishing new training institutions. It also called for structured internships, mentorships, and mandatory retooling to prepare teachers for CBE.

Ogamba affirmed that the government is committed to aligning teacher training with national priorities to ensure quality education delivery.

“Resolving this imbalance between demand and supply is critical for sustainable education development,” he said.

TSC told to evenly deploy teachers in the Country

There is a serious teacher imbalance in the Country. This is according to statistics provided by teachers’ unions. The Teachers unions have therefore called on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to balance out staff in the Country; saying some schools were understaffed while others have more teachers.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) and Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education (Kuppet) said the exercise will improve the teacher to learner ratio in the county.

For insatnce, Knut branch Executive Secretary Lenox Mshilla and his Kuppet counterpart Ismail Omoke said some schools in the county have double the number of teachers they need while others have a shortage.

Mr Mshilla said rural primary schools are the worst hit by the teacher shortage, while others like Mwanyambo Primary in Voi town have 20 extra teachers.

“Mwanyambo Primary is supposed to have 20 teachers but currently it has about 40 teachers, in excess of 20 tutors,” he said.

He noted that Mwamunga, Kalela, Voi and Mwakingali Primary Schools in Voi town were overstaffed. The union said most teachers lobby to be posted to schools in towns, disadvantaging rural areas.

“We have more teachers in the county but they have been centralised in towns and what is required is only balancing of the tutors to adequately address the huge gap,” said Mshilla.

The union officials disclosed that senior secondary schools have a shortage of 529 teachers while in Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) 495 teachers.

“Some schools, especially in towns, are in excess of teachers at the expense of the rural ones. This is because some teachers are sick and are working in towns to easily access health care services while others prefer working in towns to benefit from hardship allowances than in rural schools which do not benefit from the allowance hence causing the big teacher shortage,” Mshilla said.

Omoke said on Tuesday that the shortage of teachers was not only affecting the quality of education in the region but also performance of schools in national examinations.

He blamed the shortage of teachers on a lack of balancing out, hardship allowances and alcohol related deaths. “We have lost quite a number of teachers to alcohol related deaths,” he said.

Omoke urged TSC to deploy excess teachers to JSS and rural schools to bridge the gap.

In an earlier interview, Khalif Hirey, the new County Director of Education disclosed that schools have serious staff challenges with Dr Aggrey Boys urgently requiring 30 teachers, canon Kituri 26, Mwangeka Girls 24 and St Mary’s Boys Lushangonyi Boys Lushangonyi 18 respectively.

Some heads said they had agreed with parents to employ teachers as they wait for the government to recruit more teachers to address the huge gap which is being experienced by local schools.

Teachers urged to go for further studies to Upgrade in line with CBC Requirements

Teachers in the country are required to upgrade to diploma level to conform to the Competency-Based- Curriculum that the Education Ministry is implementing.

Speaking during a graduation ceremony at the International Teaching and Training Center (ITTC) in Isinya, Kajiado East Sub County, the Director of Teacher Education in the Ministry of Education, Dr. Salome Maina urged all teachers who graduated with a certificate in Early Childhood Education (ECDE) and Primary Teacher Education (PTE) to upgrade to diploma to conform to the new education reforms.

“Because of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and the reforms at the Education Ministry, all the teachers teaching are supposed to be at the diploma level. Practicing teachers are supposed to upgrade in order to comply with the new system of education. All who are graduating with ECDE and PTE, please undertake the one-year upgrading course so that you can attain a diploma,” Dr. Maina said.

She noted that the 21st Century environment demands a highly flexible labour force which is demonstrated in the application of the technical and soft skills competencies.

“Today’s teacher must possess abilities that make them competitive both locally and globally thus training must go beyond the traditional role of imparting knowledge, skills, and attitude, and it is based on this expectation that the government adopted the CBC that is being implemented in the teacher training colleges.

“As a country, we are committed to producing a 21st-century teacher who has the requisite teaching skills and is willing to adapt to the learner-centered approaches that lay emphasis on nurturing every learner’s potential and responding to societal needs. We are also expecting teachers who will inspire the learners and engage them in a friendly manner by communicating to them effectively and creating an enabling environment for learning,” Dr Maina emphasized.

The Director said the government recognizes the critical role played by private institutions which provide education opportunities to Kenyans provided they offer quality education and meet expected standards.

Dr Maina further added that all the teachers are required to register with the Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC), familiarize themselves with the education reforms, and acquire the legal and policy documents on education which are easily accessible at the TSC and Ministry of Education websites.

The Director said the government is committed to ensuring that every Kenyan is given an equal opportunity to learn and study considering education is the right of every Kenyan adding that the government is continually investing in basic education and everyone is expected to actively participate in ensuring both boys and girls are given equal opportunities in education at all levels.

ITTC’s Board of Management chairperson William Aketch urged teachers to perform their role diligently to safeguard the fabric of the nation because they are the ones who shape the future of nations and added they must do so with integrity, professionalism, honesty, and honour.

Over 1,200 students graduated in Teacher Education, Primary Teacher Education, and Early Childhood Development Education courses alongside various TVET courses.

Competition to replace the outgoing TSC Boss Nancy Macharia kicks off

 The competition to replace the outgoing chief executive officer of the Teachers Service Commission, Ms. Nancy Macharia, has commenced, with just four months remaining until her departure from the position. Ms. Macharia, who is retiring at the end of June after completing her second and final five-year term, was appointed in June 2015. It has been confirmed that she is currently on leave as she prepares to step down.

During a recent appearance before the Education Committee of the National Assembly on February 20, 2025, the commission was represented by Commissioner Ibrahim Gedi Mumin in an acting role.

The CEO position at the TSC is significant, as it oversees the largest workforce of over 350,000 teachers. Officials from teachers’ unions have called for a transparent recruitment process and have shared their expectations for the next CEO. Opinions on Ms. Macharia’s tenure at TSC vary depending on whom you ask.

Hesbon Otieno, the deputy secretary general of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut), expressed the need for a collaborative leader who understands stakeholders and can implement a management style that satisfies everyone involved with the commission. He emphasized the importance of professionalism from the new TSC leader.

Mr. Otieno hopes that the next CEO will elevate the TSC and address unfinished business related to collective bargaining agreements, policy formulation, and the overall welfare of teachers to create a better working environment. He also mentioned that Knut anticipates a successor who will be attentive to the individual grievances of teachers.

Moses Nthurima, the acting secretary general of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet), stated that Ms. Macharia will be remembered for her contributions to the commission. He noted that the recruitment advertisement for her replacement may be posted by the end of April. While acknowledging Ms. Macharia’s transformative impact, he pointed out that Kuppet does not have a role in the recruitment process.

He praised Ms. Macharia for her reforms at the TSC, suggesting that her successor will have an easier task. However, he criticized her for allegedly allowing politicians to influence teacher recruitment, claiming that they have been taking recruitment letters from her office to distribute to their constituents. He emphasized the need for teacher employment to be based on merit rather than political connections.

According to the TSC Act, to be appointed chief executive officer, one must be a citizen of Kenya, and hold a degree in education from a university recognised in Kenya.

“Has had at least 10 years’ experience in education, administration and management, public administration, human resource or financial management and meets the requirements of chapter six of the constitution,” reads the requirements in the TSC Act (2012).

The Act states that the secretary shall hold office for a term of five years but shall be eligible for re-appointment for one further term of five years.

The new TSC boss shall be the head of the secretariat, accounting officer of the commission, custodian of all records of the commission and responsible for executing decisions.

However, according to the Act, the secretary may be removed from office in accordance with the terms and conditions of service for inability to perform the functions of the office arising out of physical and mental infirmity, gross misconduct, or misbehaviour.

End of an Era: TSC Medical Scheme AON Minet to be replaced by SHA

Teachers medical cover AON Minet will be scrapped as the government eyes a review to give teachers a better medical cover similar to that of the civil servants.

Teachers will be moved from AON Minet cover to Social Health Authority (SHA) starting December 2025 in new TSC changes.

Teachers will be enrolled in the Public Service Medical Fund which is popular with civil servants.

This comes shortly after President William Ruto met thousands of teachers in State House where he promised to review the current teacher medical cover.

Ruto promised to review the current medical cover to ensure it is aligned with the present health needs of teachers and their families.

Teachers are paying for their medical cover through their monthly medical allowance but there have been numerous complaints from teachers over bad services.

Teachers in lower job groups, like Primary Teacher II (Grade B5), get Ksh1 million in inpatient coverage and Ksh150,000 for outpatient needs.

Meanwhile, senior educators, such as Chief Principals (Job Group D5), enjoy larger provisions, with Ksh3 million for inpatient care and Ksh450,000 for outpatient services.

Some benefits however remain consistent across the board, regardless of your job group. For instance:

  • Dental Cover: Ksh45,000
  • Optical Cover: Ksh60,000
  • Last Expense Cover: Ksh300,000

Maternity coverage, however, is scaled with job grades, ranging from Ksh120,000 for Grade B5 to Ksh300,000 for Grade D5.

If you’re a TSC-employed teacher between 18 and 65 years old, you’re covered under this scheme.

It also extends to your loved ones—you can add one registered spouse and up to four dependent children.

These children are eligible for coverage from birth until age 18 (or up to 25 if they’re in school). And here’s a thoughtful inclusion: there’s no age limit for children with certified disabilities.

Want to know what the plan actually covers? Let’s break it down:

1. Inpatient Benefits

You’re covered for almost everything you’d need in a hospital. This includes:

  • Doctor’s fees (surgeons, anesthetists, consultants)
  • ICU and HDU care
  • Medications and laboratory tests
  • Imaging services like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs
  • Specialized treatments, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy
  • Costs for internal surgical appliances

Essentially, if you’re hospitalized, this plan has you sorted.

2. Outpatient Benefits

Outpatient care is equally robust and includes:

  • Routine visits to your general doctor or specialist
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Physiotherapy sessions
  • Treatment for chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or hypertension
  • HIV/AIDS care, including access to antiretrovirals

This means you don’t have to delay routine checkups or treatment for ongoing conditions.

3. Maternity Coverage

For teachers planning or expecting children, the maternity benefits are especially generous. They include:

  • Antenatal and postnatal care
  • Delivery costs (normal and C-section—whether elective or emergency)
  • Routine immunizations under the Kenya Expanded Programme on Immunization (KEPI)

With everything from initial checkups to delivery costs covered, it’s a reassurance every new parent will appreciate.

4. Dental and Optical Cover

Need a root canal or a new pair of glasses? This plan won’t let you down. Dental benefits include:

  • Common procedures like tooth extractions and scaling (if medically necessary)
  • X-rays and dentures for injury-related losses
  • Dental crowns for restorative care

For optical care, the benefits cover:

  • Glasses and lenses
  • Frames
  • Ophthalmic surgeries and related ultrasounds

These add-ons are crucial for everyday wellness, ensuring your vision and dental health get the attention they deserve.

Additional Perks You Should Know

This scheme isn’t just about the basics—it also addresses more complex health needs. You can count on:

  • Emergency evacuation (road or air) in critical situations
  • International referrals for specialized care
  • Support for terminal illnesses like cancer and kidney failure
  • Services for chronic conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and hypertension
  • Rehabilitation for substance abuse or work-related trauma

TSC to retool junior secondary schools (JSS) Teachers on CBC and CBA

In April of this year, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will retool junior secondary schools (JSS) on the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessment (CBA).

The TSC aims to retrain JSS teachers of technical subjects, languages, science, math, and humanities.

In venues chosen by the county for face-to-face training, JSS instructors will be grouped by subject for teachers employed in special needs education (SNE) and mainstream schools.

However, Master Trainers—who are made up of senior officials from a variety of organizations, including KNEC, KEMI, CEMASTEA, MOE, KISE, and TTCs—will kick off the training.

The Trainers of Trainers (ToTs), who are champion teachers, Teacher Educators (Tutors), Curriculum Support Officers, TSC sub-county directors, and MOE Quality Assurance Officers, will then be trained by the Master Trainers for three days.

The Commission issued the following internal memorandum to direct the procedure for the exercise scheduled in April.

ii) The ToTs will provide in-person training to teachers for five days.

iii) Throughout the teacher training process, the Master Trainers will provide expert assistance.

iv) Non-ASAL individuals will not reside during the exercise, but ASAL and SNE will.
