TSC Releases new List of Hardship Areas and Counties incorporated into the new CBA 2021-2025: Here are the respective counties and selected sub-counties
Latest TSC News 2021: Good news reaching us at newspro is the fact that the Teachers Service Commission, TSC-Kenya has dispatched 95% of posting letters for newly recruited teachers.
The Commission has at the same time released a new list of Hardship Counties as directed by the world bank last year.
According to a report released by the World Bank, revising the number of Hardship Areas could greatly reduce the ballooning wage bill at a time when Kenya is struggling to make ends meet.
The World Bank thus suggested a reduction of the number of Hardship Areas in 2020 since some of the counties have greatly developed hence no longer considered Hardship.
Here is the updated list of all areas classified as hardship by the Commission:
