The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has finally confirmed to permanent and pensionable (pnp) terms a total of 46,000 teachers who were serving on internship terms.

The Commission has printed employment and appointment letters for the teachers which show that they will now be working on pnp starting January 2025.

In many sub counties primary headteachers who are also acting junior secondary school (JSS) principals, were called to pick the letters at the TSC sub county offices.

A number of intern teachers have confirmed receiving the employment letters after serving for more than a year on contract.

This is the largest conversion to ever happen to intern teachers. Thanks to president William Ruto with his Kenya Kwanza government agenda that now boosts of employing 56,000 teachers on pnp since 2022.
