TSC completes the signing of 20,000 JSS teachers’ internship contracts.
The hiring of 20,000 junior secondary school teachers for a one-year internship is almost complete, according to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
In their sub-county of application, the majority of successful applicants have signed internship agreements.
In order to promote learning in Grades 7, 8, and 9, the intern instructors will be assigned to their new workstation in early January.
After closing the online application process on November 4th at midnight, the Commission verified the documents of the teacher candidates who made the short list.
The document verification process began on November 11 and ends on November 22, 2024.
Following TSC’s announcement that schools are severely short-staffed with scientific teachers, science teachers were given preference in this year’s internship recruiting.
Compared to instructors with art combinations, more teachers with combinations of technical and scientific courses were hired.
Dr. Nancy Macharia, the CEO of TSC, had issued a warning about the nation’s lack of scientific teachers.
Macharia told the National Assembly education committee that the commission is having trouble finding scientific teachers, even though there are more than 400,000 unemployed teachers in the country.
She pointed out that applications for science teaching posts are infrequent and that many schools, particularly JSS, lack enough science teachers.
The issue with science professors is particularly noteworthy. We will be able to calculate the proportion of teachers in the arts as opposed to science based on our data. But it’s evident that most of them work in the arts,” Macharia said.
“I’ve never held back from addressing the teacher shortage situation. When we post job openings, we barely get applicants for disciplines like physics, even though we will hire and redistribute teachers throughout all counties.
“We have repeatedly contacted our schools and spoken with the education ministry about the shortage of scientific teachers. “Something has to be done,” she said.
The following documents were to be produced by the applicants in order for the internship agreement to be verified and signed in the subcounties:
- A copy of Teacher Registration Certificate/print-out from TSC online portal as evidence of registration as a teacher;Â
- A copy of National Council for Persons with Disability (NCPWD) card (where applicable);
- A copy of the National Identity Card (ID) or Passport;
- Two (2) colour passport size photographs;
- A copy of National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) card;Â
- A copy of Kenya Revenue Authority Personal Identification Number (KRA PIN).
Additionally, TSC has scheduled a sub-county retooling of all 56,000 JSS instructors, which will take place between December 2–5, 2024.
The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessments (CBA) will be covered in the training for the teachers.
After classes resume in January 2025, the 20,000 newly hired JSS teachers will receive fresh training.
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.
TSC gave 50 marks to instructors who completed internships in this year’s scorecard for hiring 46,000 teachers on permanent and pensionable conditions, allowing those who completed internships to automatically convert to PNP.
