TSC Kicks Off Deployment of Primary School Teachers
Teacher deployment is a critical process that involves assigning qualified primary school teachers to different schools, aiming to ensure an equitable distribution of educators and meet the educational needs of students. This process is typically overseen by entities like the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The deployment process usually comprises several steps:
1. Teacher Recruitment: The TSC or a relevant authority conducts recruitment exercises to hire qualified teachers. These exercises may include written exams, interviews, and document verification.
2. Teacher Training: Newly recruited teachers may undergo orientation and training programs to prepare them for their roles in the classroom.
3. Vacancy Identification: Schools with vacant teaching positions communicate their staffing needs to the TSC.
4. Teacher Placement: The TSC evaluates the qualifications and preferences of teachers and matches them with available vacancies. Factors such as subject expertise, teacher seniority, and location preferences may be considered.
5. Deployment: Teachers are then assigned to their respective schools based on the matching process. They receive their teaching assignments, and the schools are informed about the incoming teachers.
6. Monitoring and Support: The TSC or educational authorities may continue to monitor teacher performance and provide support as needed to ensure the delivery of quality education.

Furthermore, the TSC is planning to deploy over 10,000 teachers to secondary schools, specifically those who were originally elementary school teachers recruited by TSC but now meet the minimum qualifications to teach in middle schools. Eligibility criteria for these positions include affiliation with TSC as a primary school teacher, achieving specific grades in relevant subjects, and completing a minimum number of credits in those subjects.
Additionally, in line with the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) program, the TSC Executive Director must closely monitor the performance of teachers in their new assignments.
Regarding the subjects studied under the CBC curriculum for Junior Secondary School (JSS) learners, students are required to study at least 9 subjects, with flexibility to choose from various groups, including visual and performing arts, family science, computer science, foreign languages, and their mother tongue.
The curriculum is designed to be taught coherently, with each course having a dedicated 40-minute time slot. The distribution of courses for high school and university programs is detailed, with a total of 45 lessons in the curriculum.
