The Ministry of Education has indicated that most workload under CBC will be in Junior secondary. The Teachers Service Commission is in rush to deploy P1 to teach in junior secondary. Not all secondary teachers will teach in senior secondary.

Some current secondary teachers will be dropped to teach in junior secondary. Those in senior secondary will be required to have some qualifications and special skills based on the subject combination and workload in their areas. Longevity and experience will also play role. Reports from teachers’ commission imply that onwards, newly employed teachers will mostly deployed to junior secondary.
