Intern teachers to be legally certified.
TSC says intern teachers since 2019 will be legally certified as permanent and pensionable employees.
As required by the Kenyan constitution, TSC plays a critical role in regulating numerous facets of the teaching profession there. This involves duties including hiring new employees, organizing promotions and transfers, and ensuring prompt wage payments.
Executives at TSC have been actively pursuing greater funds to solve the growing teacher shortage. They will also expand chances for career progression in the teaching profession. Additionally, they are vehemently supporting pay rises for Kenyan primary and secondary school teachers in order to appreciate and recognize their commitment and toil.
All teachers in Kenya who begin their careers as interns are now legally recognized as permanent, pensionable employees. This is a significant development for the teaching profession.
These dedicated instructors now have much greater job security and financial stability because to their accomplishment.

Additionally, in February of this year, TSC launched a recruiting campaign. The campaign attracted almost 20,000 trainee teachers, primarily for primary and secondary schools. This program intends to give the nation’s transition to the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) critical support.
Nevertheless, some of these recently hired instructors are still on probation. There are already measures in place to guarantee that every trainee teacher hired in February will eventually be employed permanently . The market for teaching jobs in Kenya is anticipated to be significantly impacted by this move.
Prior to the start of the 2024 school year and teacher replacement, all trainee teachers who are now interning at elementary and secondary schools (Senior) are anticipated to get official letters attesting to their shift to permanent, pensionable posts.
These efforts demonstrate TSC’s proactive and forward-thinking approach to preserving Kenya’s educational future and ensuring the welfare of its devoted teaching personnel.
