<p> ;</p>
<p>The Teachers Service Commission has <strong>extended</strong> the <strong>Internship Application Deadline</strong>. The North Eastern counties’ qualified unemployed instructors have been shunning the region’s teaching chances, according to the Teachers Service Commission.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>TSC CEO Nancy Macharia said in her hearing on Tuesday before the National Assembly Education Committee that the Commission advertised 36,000 positions in December 2022 and hired 35,790 applicants.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>However, due to a lack of applicants, there are still 210 openings for intern teachers in the counties of Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>She claimed that the counties of Mandera, Wajir, and Garissa still have 174 unfilled positions.No applicants from the three regions responded to the May 2023 re-advertisement for the 210 vacancies, claims Macharia.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>According to Macharia, instructors in some places are reluctant to accept internship roles due to job insecurity and poor working conditions.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Over the years, a number of terrorist acts have targeted the North Eastern region, murdering several instructors and sparking discussion over the delocalization approach.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In order to debate the issue of insecurity in the North Eastern region, the MPs stated they would call Interior CS Kithure Kindiki.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>We as a committee must be ready to manage this situation due to its significance. The committee determined that in order to solve the issue of insecurity in North Eastern and make sure that teachers are protected, we must summon the CS for internal security.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Since TSC might not have a way out, the Ministry of Internal Security might depress people, particularly our educators, on the subject of insecurity.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Macharia emphasized that in order to minimize the costs associated with relocating teachers to solve the issue, the Commission has made an effort to keep instructors in their preferred subcounty when vacancies occur.The CEO emphasized that everyone who chooses to apply is welcome to do so.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In an effort to draw applicants from the area, “The Commission has been extending deadlines on affirmative action as well as re-advertising the positions numerous times,” Macharia stated.</p>
<p> ;</p>

<p>TSC Extends the Internship Application Deadline</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>All applicants to North Eastern must fulfill a number of requirements, one of which being their agreement to a three-year term.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The Commission identified and distributed 8, 367 qualified primary school teachers to junior secondary schools in order to further alleviate the teacher shortage in those facilities.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>According to Macharia, the application portal for JSS deployment is still active, and teachers who obtain the required qualifications are invited to apply and be deployed on a continuous basis.</p>
