The Teachers Service Commission(TSC), will conduct interviews to fill 36,505 vacancies for teacher promotions from December 4.
Addressing delegates during the 20th Annual Delegates Conference currently underway in Mombasa, TSC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Nancy Macharia noted 17,914 posts will go to primary school staff.
" I wish to encourage those who have been invited for the interviews from 4th December 2023 to ensure that they attend without failure,” she said.
Macharia outlined that the government has set aside sh 1 billion in the financial year 2023/2024.
However, she lamented over the failure of teachers to turn out for the interviews, a factor she observes has starved schools with low numbers of teachers, putting pressure on the teachers already employed by TSC.
