New TSC Score sheet for Primary teacher (P1) 2024

Each year TSC advertises employment opportunities for primary school teachers and post-primary school tutors through print media. This gives the opportunity to trained teachers who are unemployed.

Though primary teacher employment takes time, the good thing is that ultimately one will secure a job. Applicants for the primary posts must be holders of P1 certificates.

Just like the case of secondary teacher recruitment, length of stay and P1 qualifications also play a vital role in the employment of P1 teachers. Apart from the length of stay since completion of the teaching course, the age bracket of an individual has some weight in ones employment.

During the selection day one should carry the following original documents to sub-county selection panel;

1. National Identity card.
2. CPE/KCPE certificate (including first attempt certificate if one repeated exam).
3. PTE certificate.
4. School/college leaving certificates.

Sub county selection panel shall include the following;

1. Sub-County Director – Chairperson
2. TSC Sub-County Human Resource Officer – Secretary
3. All zonal Curriculum Support Officer – Members
