JSS teachers hired will be sent out in September 2023.

JSS Teachers have been hired and will start working in September 2023. Junior secondary school (JSS) and primary school intern teachers will begin working at primary schools in early September of this year, when the third term of classes starts.

Particularly at junior secondary schools where grade 8 courses will begin the following January, teachers should reduce the amount they have to teach.

The Teachers’ Service Commission (TSC) had earlier advertised 20,000 teaching positions around the nation.

The commission intends to select 18,000 interns for junior secondary schools from the 20,000 applications received.

The remaining 2,000 recruits will be placed in primary schools to assist in implementing the competency-based curriculum (CBC), according to TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia.

In accordance with Macharia, “the program targets unemployed registered teachers to be placed in learning institutions where their teaching experience will be improved through mentoring, coaching, and exposure to real-world teaching situations.”

Sending Teachers to JSS

It involves the complete 12-month internship. All qualified and interested applicants had until July 18, 2023, to submit their applications.

Successful applicants will get a monthly payment of Ksh20,000 for junior high school entrance and Ksh15,000 for primary school admittance.

To confirm the 20,000 teachers it had hired as interns in February of this year on permanent and pensionable terms, TSC, however, asked the government for funds.

Teachers may lose motivation if they spend too much time working on internships, according to TSC Chairperson Jamleck Muturi, who made this statement at the Kenya School of Government at the launch of the TSC 2023–2027 strategic plan.

According to Muturi, the Commission intends to confirm the teachers in January 2024, assuming it receives the required cash.

TSC plans to spend shillings 11 billion on teacher promotions, shillings 7.9 billion on CBC, TPAD, and PC training, shillings 24 billion on intern employment, and shillings 73.8 billion on hiring 111,870 teachers on long-term contracts with pension benefits.

According to Commission policy, intern instructors are only permitted to serve for a total of two years before transitioning to permanent positions.

For the next five years, the government plans to hire at least 25,000 teachers annually. 36,000 teachers were employed by TSC in January.

JSS teachers hired will be sent out in September 2023.
