The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is set to recruit 20,000 teachers and promote 36,000 others to stabilise junior secondary schools and promote professional growth.
TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia said the National Treasury allocated the Commission Sh1 billion for promotion of 36,505 teachers in the 2024/2025 financial year.
“The issue of promotions will be over soon because we have funding. Initially, we were relying on recurrent expenditure, which was not enough” she said.
While addressing a media engagement forum in Nairobi on February 23, Dr Macharia explained that teacher promotions had been a perennial pain point because of lack of sufficient funds.
She indicated that the 20,000 teachers to be recruited will be deployed to junior secondary schools across the country.
The move is a shot in the arm following the transition of learners to Grade 8 this year, causing a shortfall of approximately 42,117 teachers in JSS.
In the beginning of the year, Dr Macharia disclosed that the number of teachers required in junior secondary schools this year is 99,045 against the current number of 56,928.
Hiring additional teachers will further ease teachers’ workload and enhance delivery of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), especially when the 1.2 million learners who sat the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) last year join Grade 7.
