The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced the employment of 5,000 new teachers to address the shortage currently being experienced in schools.

In an advert in the local dailies, Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia said 2,205 teachers will be taken to Primary schools while 2,795 teachers will be sent to Secondary schools.

She stated that interested candidates should submit their applications to County Directors of Education for primary schools and boards of management for post primary institutions.

“Applicants applying for posts in Primary Schools must be holders of P1 Certificates. Interested candidates should apply to the TSC County Director in the County where the vacancy has been advertised attaching all relevant academic and professional certificates,” she said.

She stated that successful candidates will be deployed to serve in stations in any party of the country and not necessarily in the County where they were recruited.

She further said that interested candidates should be Kenya citizens aged 45 years and below, registered with TSC and must have original professional and academic certificates.
