In Kenya, the Primary school teachers are typically responsible for educating students in grades one through six, or around ages 6 to 11.
TSC through the kenyan government hires teachers for elementary schools to work at elementary public schools.
On the other hand these teachers may be employed by administration of private elementary schools.
