P1 Teachers With Mean Grade of C (Plain) Have a Reason to Smile
To solve the teacher shortage, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has disclosed intentions to transfer more primary school instructors to junior secondary schools.
Despite the commission receiving a new funding allocation, the second groups of PTE teachers in practise have not yet been assigned to junior high.
Those teachers whose applications were received before March 22, 2023, will be given first preference for the second deployment.
Following the budget reading on Thursday of last week, TSC was given a budgetary allotment that would be utilised to advance these teachers as well as the around 14,000 tutors who have been in the same job group for years.

Before approving the deployment of a teacher to a school, TSC mandates that the Sub County Directors verify all paperwork.
The committee insisted that there be a category of elementary school instructors who can work at junior secondary schools.
Requirements:
The teacher MUST fulfil the following crucial requirements in order for deployment to be verified:
i) Teachers must be registered with the Teachers Service Commission and have a TSC number.
ii) As a first-grade teacher, you must work for the Teachers Service Commission.
iii) must not currently be serving a suspension or going through a disciplinary procedure.
iv) KCSE (or its equivalent) scores of at least a C+ are required, as well as a minimum Diploma in Education.
V) is required to have two teaching topics (8-4-4 or CBC) graded C+, or two principles and one subsidiary pass at “A” Level.
For KCSE Teachers With a C Plain:
- Teachers who hold both a diploma and a bachelor’s degree in education and who have at least a C (plain) on their KCSE are qualified.
- On their certificates, these teachers must have a degree listed as a Bachelor of Education. They are ineligible if they have a Bachelor of Education (Primary Option).
- They had to have expressed a desire to attend a junior high school and their names had to be on a list that was circulated by headquarters.
Documentation needed for verification
Candidates for teaching positions must present the following papers:
1) A copy of the original degree or diploma award;
ii) A copy and the original of the instructor’s academic transcripts;
iii) If necessary, both the original and a duplicate of the SNE qualification;
iv) A copy and the original of the KCSE or comparable certificate;
v) a copy of your most recent pay stub from the TSC;
vi) A formal confirmation from the institution’s head that the teacher is still employed there and not on probation or undergoing disciplinary action.
