TSC said the recruitment of the intern teachers was in support of the Governments initiative to develop a pool of young talents for the Kenyan Labour Market.

TSC may also employ more teachers after the Education ministry recommended an increase of Sh 15 billion to its annual budget.

According to the Draft 2022 Budget Policy Statement (a roadmap for 2022-23 budget) the document proposes an increase from the current Sh281.7 billion to Sh296.6 billion, an increase of Sh14.9 billion.

The increased funding under the Teacher Resource Management implies that the commission is set to recruit more teachers and cater for an increment of teachers’ salaries.

TSC is determined to see that teachers are properly staffed. It is working with Ministry of Education to ensure enough teachers are provided by recruiting 5,000 teachers every year and also by engaging intern teachers,” reads a section of the policy.

TSC Internship programme is a short term programme lasting one year that supports efforts by teacher training institutions to equip and sustain the competencies of persons entering teaching service.

Interns attached to primary schools get a monthly stipend of Kshs. 15,000/= while those in secondary schools get Kshs. 20,000/=.

The recruitment of intern teachers is meant to address severe teacher shortage in schools.

TSC also extended internship for 4,005 teachers whose one year term was to end in December 2021.

The Commission had outlined its plan of employing at least 6,000 intern teachers by December 2021.

According to TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia the additional employees would ease teachers’ workload as enrollment rises, particularly due to the government’s 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school policy

This is a commendable government effort to ensure quality learning and teaching in our public schools,” said Macharia.

Macharia said the recruitment of 6,000 teachers on internship will cost the Commission kshs 1.2 billion.

She said TSC is more concerned with the workload brought by the 100 per cent transition policy and commended the government for allocating more funds for recruiting more teach.

We appreciate the government for allocating TSC funds annually for the recruitment of additional teachers since the 100 per cent transition programme was launched,” said Nancy Macharia

However of the 6,000 internship vacancies only 2,000 will go to primary schools while the rest 4,000 will be reserved for secondary schools.

Last year TSC recruited 12,000 intern teachers under the Covid-19 economic stimulus package at a cost of Sh2.4 billion

We appreciate the government for allocating TSC funds annually for the recruitment of additional teachers since the 100 per cent transition programme was launched,” said Nancy Macharia.

During the recruitment TSC highlighted the following requirements for one to be eligible for internship.

According to the Economic Survey report, the Gross Enrolment Rate in primary schools improved from 104.4 per cent in 2018 to 100.2 per cent in 2019 and then reduced to 99.6 per cent in 2020.

On governance and standards, the commission has been allocated Sh1.1 billion from Sh1 billion in the current financial year.

The increase was in form of current expenses that include logistics such as Teacher Performance and Appraisal Development and Competency-Based Curriculum training for teachers among others.

According to the BPS, the education sector has been allocated Sh525.9 billion, Sh539.9 billion and Sh558.4 billion in the financial years 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25 respectively

    It’s very very true here outside trained teachers we are many, even others gratituded in 2010-2011. Life is getting so hard to us. Please may the government through the ministry reduce this number…. We are broken-hearted nearly to despair.
