The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will publish on its official website names of teachers who will be successfully shortlisted in the ongoing recruitment.
TSC said it will publish the shortlisted candidates on its website from Wednesday 13th July, 2022 to Friday 15th July, 2022
In the advert the Commission seeks to recruit a total 14,460 primary and secondary school teachers as well as Teacher Training College (TTC) tutors by July.
Currently TSC has a total of 345,316 teachers on its payroll. Of these, 228,126 are primary school teachers, 116,024 are secondary school teachers and 1,166 are TTC tutors.
TSC is currently grappling with massive shortage of teachers. The Commission requires a total 114,581 teachers to plug the shortage.
There are at least 300,000 teachers who are trained but are yet to be employed by the Commission.
TSC however employs at least 10,000 teachers annually which is too small compared to existing shortage as well as 10,000 teachers who exit the service each year.
Some of the employed teachers serve as interns for a period of one year which is renewable. The Commission employs 6,000 teachers on internship each year.
