Notes for Applicants

– Ensure that you complete all sections of the form.

– Submit the application in TRIPLICATE (three copies). Two copies should be forwarded to the County director or staffing officer through the head of your institution for recommendation and distribution.

This application process ensures that teachers can seek new opportunities while following established guidelines and procedures.
