Teacher Service Commission (TSC) is a Kenyan authority that hires and fires teachers. For primary school recruiting, the organization has the authority to place a teacher in any Kenyan school, regardless of whether or not the teacher applied for that school.
The secondary school teachers, on the other hand, have the option of choosing where they work because their positions are published openly.
However, despite the fact that teachers in some Kenyan districts are given hardship allowances, the dangers they confront are life threatening.
