DISTRIBUTION OF TSC RECRUITMENT POSTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

To the dismay of most aspiring secondary school graduate teachers, the Teachers Service Commission advertised extremely limited teaching vacancies in secondary schools to be filled in December, 2024. If this year’s recruitment trend is anything to go by, then we can simply conclude that the demand for high school teachers is set to reduce, leaving graduate teachers with only one fall back plan- instructing learning in junior secondary schools.

Here is the list of available teaching vacancies targeting secondary school teachers in Kisii county, per sub-county:
