TSC Announces Internship Vacancies For Teachers. The online application gateway for internships in the Northeastern counties of the United States has been reopened by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
This action is a component of the commission’s effort to address the region’s teacher shortage and guarantee the provision of high-quality education.
Regardless of when they started working, interns in the counties of Tanariver, Wajir, Garisa, and Mandera are currently considered Senior Interns; confirmation is expected in July of this year.
Through the TSC internship program, fresh education graduates can gain practical teaching experience while also advancing the region’s educational system.

The program serves those who have completed their teacher preparation and are looking for work in the teaching field.
Interested candidates are urged to visit the TSC website and use the online recruitment portal to submit their applications.
The internship initiative aims to bolster school capacity in the region by providing them with qualified teaching personnel.
Besides, it seeks to enhance the quality of education and academic outcomes for students in Northeastern Kenya.
Applicants for the internship positions must meet TSC’s stipulated qualifications, including completion of teacher training from recognized institutions. Selection will be based on merit and suitability for the teaching profession.
Last year, TSC CEO Nancy Macharia announced that the government had allocated Sh2.5 billion for the recruitment of 5,000 teachers and Sh1.2 billion for hiring 6,000 intern teachers.
According to Macharia, “the allotted funds are expected to facilitate the employment of 10,000 interns for nine months and 5,000 new teachers for a period of seven months.”
The employer of the teacher intends to hire 21,550 intern teachers this year in order to fill staffing shortages in primary and secondary education.
Additionally, 6,000 spots have been set aside for secondary schools, and 4,300 more instructors will be hired on a contract basis for elementary schools.
In order to address the staffing shortfalls in public primary and secondary schools brought on by the introduction of free education, the Commission plans to hire around 116,000 more teachers.
