TSC Deployment Letters For P1 To JSS. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will send out deployment letters to the third batch of Primary Teacher Education (P1) teachers. These are ones who qualify for junior schools starting in May 2024.
This initiative comes as a response to the significant shortage of teachers in junior secondary schools. It was highlighted by TSC earlier this year in January 2024.
Response From CEO
Dr. Nancy Macharia, the CEO of TSC, expressed concerns about the severe shortage of teachers in junior secondary schools.
Currently, there are approximately 56,928 teachers, while the schools require around 99,045 teachers. To address this shortage, TSC advertised 6,000 deployment slots for primary school teachers with a degree in secondary education.
Procedure for Application and Deployment
The deadline for applications to be considered for these deployment slots was March 18, 2024. Early in the upcoming term, those who are selected for service will start receiving posting letters to work at junior secondary schools.
TSC stressed that deployment letters should be expected by competent instructors who applied for deployment.
Sub-County Directors and Primary Headteachers are required to manage the release and reception of teachers as soon as they receive their deployment letters in order to facilitate the payment of teachers’ salaries more quickly.
At the Sub-County level, the County Directors will use the Entry or Exit Reports Module to start the posting procedure.
TSC Deployment Letters For P1 To JSS
The assignment of P1 teachers to junior secondary schools with deployment letters will be managed by the TSC Sub-County Directors. Teachers who will be deployed will complete all entry and exit procedures online. Hard copy documents are no longer accepted or processed by TSC.
When a teacher is kept at the same station, the Head of the Institution is required to submit the junior secondary school’s new entry report and finish the primary school’s exit procedure.
The goal of these expedited processes is to effectively place qualified teachers in junior secondary schools in order to alleviate the severe teacher shortage.
