In the new recruitment guidelines released by TSC, qualified
teachers who have evidence of internship will stand high chance
of securing TSC jobs.
However, the commission has reduced marks for suitable
applicants who will provide evidence for an internship. Previously, applicants who
produced evidence for internship secured 30 marks. Surprisingly, the commission
has now reduced those marks to 15.
It is important to note that teachers who are serving in the internship programme will have a headstart over others. This will automatically
give them an upper hand.
Here is how internship marks will be awarded:
Evidence of internship service
Served for three (3) years – 15 marks
Served for two (2) years – 10 marks
Served for (1) year -5 marks
MAXIMUM SCORE – 15 marks
Another factor that will increase chances of one to get employed is the quality of the certificate. However, tutors teaching subjects combinations like:
Physics/Chemistry,
Biology/Agriculture
Chemistry/Biology
are easily absorbed by TSC since they are few.
Applicants must present original and legible photocopies of
the following documents:-
- National
identification cards;
- National
Council of Persons with Disability (NCPWD) Card (where applicable);
- KCPE
Certificates;
- KCSE
Certificates (include first attempt certificate if repeated exams);
- Diploma/Degree
Certificates and official transcripts;
- Primary
and Secondary Schools leaving certificates
NB: Provisional transcript shall not be accepted.
Where names on the submitted documents differ, the applicant will be required to submit a sworn affidavit.

It is important to note that teachers who are serving in
internship programme will have an advantage of thirty (30) marks. This will
automatically give them an upper hand.
