TSC employment requirements for new teachers

Have you been employed recently by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC)? Well. During the recruitment process for new teachers, it is important that you know and understand the documents that you must submit to the employer.

Failure to submit all the required documents (in the prescribed format) would make you not be appointed to the TSC payroll. This will in turn delay the release of your salary. In adverse cases, the TSC may send you a regret letter; meaning that your application for TSC employment has been rejected.
