TSC Senior interns employment
Recent statements from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) have given fresh hope to senior interns. The TSC holds a significant constitutional mandate in the Kenyan education sector and plays a pivotal role in various aspects of the teaching profession, including teacher registration, recruitment, promotion, rotation management, and salary disbursement.
The leadership of the TSC has been actively seeking additional funding to address the growing teacher shortage and create more career advancement opportunities in education. Their efforts also extend to advocating for increased salaries for primary and secondary school teachers in Kenya, reflecting their dedication.
A noteworthy development for Kenyan teachers is the legal certification of all teachers who started as trainees since 2019 as permanent pensionable employees, significantly enhancing their job security and financial stability.

In February of the current year, TSC initiated a recruitment campaign, uniting approximately 20,000 trainee teachers, with a particular focus on primary and secondary schools. This campaign aims to support the country’s transition to the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). While some of the newly hired teachers are currently on probation, plans are underway to transition all trainee teachers hired in February to permanent positions with pension benefits, likely reshaping the teaching job market in Kenya.
Before the start of the 2024 school year, all trainee teachers currently working as Senior Interns in primary and secondary schools will receive official confirmation of their transition to permanent pensionable positions, effectively replacing existing teachers.
The proactive and forward-thinking approach of TSC in securing Kenya’s educational future and the well-being of its dedicated teaching staff is evident through these initiatives. Thanks to these recent announcements, the prospects for senior interns have become significantly brighter.
