Since over 10,000 teachers will be leaving the Teachers Service Commission’s (TSC) payroll by the end of December after reaching the required retirement age, the TSC will be replacing them.

While many of the retiring instructors are classroom teachers, some are school administrators.

However, following teachers’ protests against a chaotic replacement process in the previous fiscal year, the Commission has decided how it will handle teacher replacements next year.

In September 2023, TSC was given a budget of Sh 2.5 billion by the Treasury to replace 6,000 teachers.

But instead of announcing the openings to the public, the Commission quietly gave the seats to MPs and politicians to occupy in their respective districts.

To get a job, some teachers had to part with up to Sh400,000. Even though the replacements were incompetent, corruption and cronyism continued.

This action is thought to be Kenya Kwanza’s way of rewarding politicians who support its agenda.

TSC reverted to its gloomy past, when politicians meddled in Commission operations, such as the hiring of teachers, which was fraught with discrimination and widespread corruption.

Without completing an internship, a few of the teachers were hired on permanent and pensionable conditions.

Ezekiel Machogu, the Cabinet Secretary for Education at the time, was in charge of the backdoor teacher recruitment.

During an event in Kisii County, Machogu was seen live giving job letters to teachers.

The president of Kenya dismissed his cabinet, including former chief secretary Ezekiel Machogu, as a result of the Gen Z protests against poor governance.

Before being hired on a permanent basis, instructors are required to complete at least a year of internship.

The purpose of the one-year Teacher Internship Program is to prepare and maintain the skills of those preparing to enter the teaching profession.

The program’s goal is to place jobless registered instructors in educational institutions where they will receive coaching, mentoring, and exposure to real-world teaching situations.

Although most of the present intern teachers have been with the company for two years, the internship will last for twelve months.

An internship with a teacher is not a paid position. However, a monthly salary of Kshs. 20,000/= will be available to interns affiliated with junior secondary institutions.

Statutory deductions such as NHIF, housing levy, and NSSF, if applicable, will be applied to the stipend’s payment.

Teacher interns who successfully complete the internship program will receive a certificate.

At the moment, TSC is hiring 20,000 instructors for junior secondary school internships. In January, the teachers will be assigned to schools.

Currently serving internship periods, 46,000 instructors will be confirmed to PNP terms in January 2025.
