In addition, TSC is preparing to confirm 46,000 current intern teachers to permanent, pensionable roles by January 2025, backed by an 18.7 billion shilling budget allocation. Interns recently completed a document verification process, which only required a national ID. They will receive confirmation letters and be assigned permanent stations early next year.
The TSC Internship Programme is a one-year initiative designed to help registered, unemployed teachers gain practical experience through mentorship and hands-on teaching. Applications are strictly online, with eligibility requirements as follows:
– Primary School Interns: Must hold a PTE or DPTE certificate and be TSC-registered.
– Junior School Interns : Must hold at least a diploma, a minimum of C+ in KCSE, and C+ in two teaching subjects, with TSC registration.
Interns will earn a monthly stipend of 15,000 shillings for primary roles and 20,000 shillings for junior secondary roles. Those who complete the program will receive a certificate, providing valuable points toward future permanent positions.
As part of a broader recruitment goal, TSC aims to hire a total of 111,870 teachers by 2028 to meet the national demand for educators across all basic learning institutions.
