In each year TSC advertise employment opportunities for primary schools teachers and post primary schools tutors through print media. This gives opportunity to trained teachers who are unemployed.
Even if the employment for P1 takes time, the good thing is that ultimately one will secure a job. Applicants for primary post must be holders of P1 certificate. In addition be a Kenyan citizen aged 44 years and below.
In both primary and secondary, the length of stay and P1 qualifications also play a vital role in employment of P1 teachers.
Apart from length of stay since completion of teaching course, the age bracket of an individual has some weight in ones employment.
