The teachers’ employer has prioritized the hiring of teachers after schools fully re-opened in 2021 after months long closure in 2020 due to the pandemic.
With schools struggling to offer learning while adhering to Covid-19 prevention measures, lack of adequate teaching staff has been identified as a major challenge.
Many public schools, for instance, have witnessed an influx of new students after opening in January. This has been attributed to the closure of numerous private schools during the pandemic as well as the losses of income experienced by many parents, making it difficult to pay school fees.
TSC had on December 22, 2020 advertised 15,266 promotion vacancies for teachers.
The vacancies were for positions including Deputy Principal, Head Teacher, Curriculum Support Officer, Senior Master and Senior Lecturer.
The agency also started undertaking interviews for 6,674 previously advertised internship positions.
