TSC Introduces Two Unique Features on It’s Recruitment Portal
A day after announcing that 20,000 vacancies will be available for intern teachers in Junior Secondary Schools (18,000) and Primary Schools (2,000), the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has added two distinctive elements to the recruitment webpage that it maintains for its organisation.
Applicants now have the ability to edit the sub-county in which they wish to apply for vacancies thanks to the fact that TSC has activated the edit button.
Our team conducted a spot check, which discovered that applicants were only allowed to make two selections. This was despite the fact that the commission encouraged applicants to choose only one county.
In the section labelled “Edit my details,” the commission has included a new button labelled “Ethnicity.” This page prompts all applicants to declare their tribe while they are changing their information in the recruitment portal.
Under the Careers link on the official website, tsc.go.ke, or at teachersonline.tsc.ke, online applications were required to be submitted by any and all individuals who were interested in the position.
According to a report that was presented by TSC on Tuesday, May 30, the members of the Kalenjin community were given the largest number of slots in the recruiting exercise that was carried out in January 2023. This was followed by other important tribes such as the Luhya, Kikuyu, Kamba, Luo, and Kisii.
In addition to this, the panel gave an account of the various localities from which the recruits originated. These included Bajun (35), Basuba (6), Boni-Sanye (6), Boran (45), Burji (7), Degodia (9), Dorobo (2), Elmolo (1), Embu (232), Gabra (17), Kalenjin (4,048), Kamba (2,899), Kenya Arab (1), Kikuyu (2,913), Kisii (1,737), Kuria (108), Luhya (3,187), Luo (2,576), Masai (461), Mbere (25), Meru (1,220), Miji Kenda (500), Murulle (1), Ogaden (2), and Orma (5).
Others included Pokomo (18), Pokot (312), Rendille (2), Sakuye (2), Samburu (93), Somali (43), Swahili-Shirazi (11), Taita (232), Teso (105), Tharaka (56), and Turkana (73).
According to the findings of the study, the 20,990 available teaching positions were split between 36 of the 42 officially recognised tribes. This indicates that six villages did not acquire even a single teaching position.
Following the completion of the recruiting process, 30,550 new teachers were hired to work at Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), while the remaining positions were filled in ordinary secondary schools.
