Application requirements
To be eligible, all applicants must be Kenyan citizens and registered with the TSC. For those applying to teach in primary schools, candidates must hold at least a P1 certificate. Junior and senior secondary school applicants are required to have a diploma in education.
Shortlisted candidates will be required to present their original academic and professional certificates during the recruitment process.
Preference for serving interns
The TSC also encouraged serving interns to apply for these roles within their respective counties or sub-counties.
These candidates will only need to provide their identity cards for verification purposes, streamlining the process for those who are already in the system.
