At least 6,347 primary school teachers have a degree with C+ at KCSE and C+ in the two teaching subjects as of July 2020 hence qualify to teach in current secondary schools.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released a list of teachers who have been deployed to secondary schools in 2021.
The deployment lists have been arranged per county and feature the deployed teachers’ names, TSC Numbers, and current working stations. Also shown are the new working stations plus the subjects.
According to the Commission, at the same time dispatched deployment letters to the teachers. The lucky teachers have been promoted to secondary school teacher II (T-Scale 7) and will now earn a monthly basic pay of between 34,955 shillings and 43,694 shillings plus allowances.
Required Documents and Selection panel
In the month of October, TSC released more letters for PTE teachers who graduated with a Bachelor’s in Education to start teaching their new subject areas. Some teachers have started receiving their letters of promotion after waiting for a long time.
Despite teachers meeting, the most requirements for deployment, TSC has emphasized teachers meeting the minimum units required for one to be eligible to teach in high school.
In July 2021 TSC advertised for another 1,000 deployment vacancies for practicing primary school teachers to apply.
There have been calls for TSC to increase the number of teachers it deploys every year as well as make public the number it deploys in each county after complaints from a section of teachers that their counties are sidelined by only getting a few slots during the exercise.
TSC was hard-pressed to issue its report on the status of preparedness ahead of Competency-Based Curriculum transition classes and the looming double intake in 2023.
I completed my degree course in 2019 maths and computer science secondary School option but after all applications I made to be deployed to secondary school from primary no response from tsc not even any communication on the same plz may I know what went wrong given that many schools lack computer studies teachers.
Kindly why can’t we have transparency on deployment bcoz I av been applying and graduated in the yr 2015 and a since then no light. What is the criteria of doing so?or else u use interviews…. Am becoming impatient and losing hope….
How fair is your criterion on employing new teachers to the teaching profession.A teacher is at forty five yet he/she is unemployed.
It’s quite disheartening. I completed my degree and graduated and was upgraded. I did secondary option. I’ve applied for deployment but have never been considered even though I meet all the requirements needed for deployment. When I enquire,they always tell me that they are in the process of deploying and that I should be patient. What’s the problem?
Am almost giving up on this issue of deployment,why can’t there be transparency?kakamega not getting any deployment letter for 2years, what’s the problem?
