The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is initiating a recruitment process for teacher interns, managed by Sub-County Directors who will conduct selection exercises for these positions.
Applicants must submit applications online via [www.teachersonline.go.ke](http://www.teachersonline.go.ke) and meet several requirements, including TSC registration, as stipulated under Section 23(1) of the TSC Act, 2012.
This process emphasizes transparency and inclusivity, requiring that selection venues are accessible to individuals with disabilities, with 5% of positions reserved for teachers with disabilities.
Key guidelines include:
1. Eligibility and Verification:
Applicants must be registered teachers, and those with discrepancies in names on official documents must present an affidavit. Those who re-sat KCPE or KCSE exams need certified copies of all relevant certificates.
2. Selection Process:
County Directors generate applicant lists, which Sub-County Directors use to arrange verification and interview sessions. Applicants are notified at least seven days in advance, and interviews are based on criteria like length since graduation, academic/professional qualifications, and, if needed, subject grades.
3. Documentation:
During verification, applicants must present originals and photocopies of identification, teaching credentials, school leaving certificates, and other relevant documents. A merit-based score sheet ranks applicants, with preference for science and technical subjects, followed by language and humanities subjects.
4. Special Provisions for SNE Schools:
For Junior Secondary Special Schools, subject-specific merit lists are created for future recruitment within the financial year.
5. Previous Internship Experience: Former TSC teacher interns and those previously employed on permanent and pensionable terms (except those dismissed for disciplinary reasons) are eligible to reapply.
After selection, the Sub-County Panel submits ranked lists and recruitment documents for successful applicants to TSC headquarters for final processing.
