The Teachers Service Commission To Confirm all TSC Teacher Interns working in Secondary Schools; what led to this major decision?

At last there is a glimmer of hope for all secondary school teachers who were employed under the TSC internship program in 2019.

According to sources within the Commission, secondary school TSC interns will be absorbed by the Teachers Service Commission soon.

This move follows the parliamentary education committee’ s proposal that the Commission should focus on employing teachers on permanent and pensionable terms as opposed to the internship program.

Schools heads are currently collecting data on teachers currently employed on internship or contract basis for further action.

This is great news for the interns who had been forced to live from hand to mouth owi g to the meagre monthly salary that the Commission had promised to pay them for the next one year.

A secondary school TSC intern teacher gets paid Kshs 15, 000 a month while a primary school TSC intern teavhwr pockets only Kshs 10, 000.

The meagre earnings and tough conditions for TSC internships had already discouraged some teachers from applying for available TSC internship posts/vacancies.

4. You do not have to serve as an intern. Internship is optional, therefore you have an option of applying or not.

5. The schools(as good practices dictate) should support the interns by providing accommodation and food where possible. This will go along way in motivating them to be effective given the meagre pay (stipend)

6. Certificates will be offered to all interns. This is a plus for teachers especially those aspiring to be promoted for it is a kind gesture towards the Teachers Service Commission.
