The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) has announced job vacancies for 46,000 teachers across primary, junior, secondary, and secondary schools under permanent and pensionable terms.

In a notice on Tuesday, the Commission stated that 6,000 positions are available for primary schools, 39,550 for junior secondary schools, and 450 for secondary schools.

The recruitment aims to address the shortage of teachers in primary, junior secondary, and secondary schools nationwide.

“Interested and qualified candidates should submit their applications online through the Teachers Service Commission’s website, www.tsc.go.ke, under ‘Careers’ or teachersonline.tsc.go.ke.”

 The notice indicates that all applicants, including people with disabilities, must be Kenyan citizens and registered with the TSC, and they should only fill out one application form.

Candidates for Primary school positions must have at least a P1 certificate, while those applying for junior or senior secondary school positions must hold a diploma in education.

The Commission warns that submitting more than one application will result in disqualification, and manual applications will not be accepted.

Serving interns have also been urged to apply within their current counties, sub-counties, or workstations and will only be required to present their identity cards during verification.

“The deadline for submitting applications is October 7, 2024,” read the notice.
