<p>In the counties of Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced the opening of 1000 teaching positions.</p>
<p>The commission is looking to hire 80 high school instructors and 764 elementary school teachers, according to the advertisement this author saw.</p>
<p>The positions are long-term and pensionable.</p>
<p>To fill openings in the counties of Garissa, Wajir, and Mandera, TSC simultaneously re advertised 386 teaching positions (114 for elementary schools and 272 for secondary schools) on a contractual basis.</p>
<p>“To qualify for recruitment, a candidate should be a Kenyan citizen, be hailing from Garissa, Mandera or Wajir Counties, be teaching under Board of Management in Garissa, Mandera or Wajir Counties,” read part of the notice</p>
<p>The commission requires all interested candidates who are not natives of the three counties to be registered teachers, P1 certificate holders for primary schools, and holders of a minimum of a Diploma in Education for secondary schools.</p>
<p>“Interested and qualified candidates should submit their applications online through the Teachers Service Commission’s website, www.tsc.go.ke under ‘Careers’ or teachersonline.tsc.go.ke not later than <strong>7th July, 2022,</strong>” TSC added.</p>
<p>The government has been giving financial resources, according to TSC CEO Nancy Macharia, so that we may hire 5,000 new teachers for our public schools on average each year.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>However, there are still 114,581 instructors needed in primary and post-primary institutions.</p>
<p>The TSC director ascribed the shortage in part to the government’s 100% transition program, which aims to guarantee that every pupil who completes primary school is enrolled in secondary school to the fullest extent possible.</p>
