Teachers hired through the Teachers Service Commission’s internship program are required to sign a one-year contract.
It’s important to remember, however, that intern teachers are eligible to apply for TSC’s permanent posts.
Unsatisfactory performance or failure to follow the Internship’s norms of conduct may result in the internship being terminated at the discretion of the Commission, an Officer, or an Agent.
According to the TSC internship agreement, the internship will be unpaid.
Interns, on the other hand, will be paid a stipend determined by the Commission on a regular basis.
On a yearly basis, the Commission will make a financial allocation in this regard.
Intern teachers’ salaries are currently deducted in two amounts:
- Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and
- Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
- Ksh 950.00 is the total amount deducted.
After all deductions, the teacher receives Ksh. 19,050.00 at home.
This number would rise significantly after the next round of intern teachers has been hired. According to the current proposal, secondary school intern teachers’ salaries are broken down as follows.
Secondary school teachers’ salaries will remain unchanged, with only two deductions: Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) (NHIF). Ksh 950.00 is the total amount deducted. After all deductions, the teacher receives Ksh. 24, 050 to take home.
Primary school students will have two deductions from their pay: Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) (NHIF). Ksh 950.00 will be deducted as a total. After all deductions have been made, the teacher takes home Ksh. 19,050.00.
The changes will take effect in the following calendar year. Those who are on an internship contract but have not yet found a permanent job will progress as their contract is renewed.
