TSC aims to place 6,000 P1 teachers in JSS by April, but the deployment criteria appear to be unattainable for many PTE teachers.
TSC initially indicated that primary school teachers with any education-related diploma or degree could be deployed to JSS, but later reversed this decision after receiving contrary advice.
TSC had compiled lists from its database of P1 teachers with various diplomas and degrees to consider for placement in grade nine.
In an Excel template, TSC requested that primary school heads provide details such as the teachers’ KCSE mean grade, areas of specialization (e.g., BED Arts, BED Primary Option, BED Science, BED ECDE, BED SNE, Diploma in Education, Diploma SNE, Diploma ECDE), and two teaching subjects with mean grades for those with secondary options.
Most primary school teachers have a mean grade of C (plain) in KCSE, although some have since upgraded to diploma and degree qualifications.
Next month, TSC will begin verifying documents and assigning primary school teachers to junior secondary schools.
Recently, officials from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) urged TSC to relax its strict academic requirements for deploying P1 teachers to JSS in the interest of students.
They suggested that TSC should retrain PTE teachers and permit them to teach Grade 7, 8, and 9 students.
The Commission has faced criticism for neglecting P1 teachers who are well-suited to teach subjects like Music, Art and Craft, and Physical Education, which JSS teachers are currently struggling with.
The TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia stated that the Commission needs a total of 72,422 teachers to address the shortage in JSS.
TSC has employed 76,928 teachers in junior secondary, which represents 51.5% of the total requirement.
These are 39,550 junior secondary school teachers who were first recruited on internship terms but have since been confirmed.
8,378 P1 teachers who were deployed to JSS in 2023 and 2024 and 9,000 JSS teachers recruited on permanent and pensionable terms.
The government also allocated sh 4.8 billion which TSC used to recruit 20,000 JSS teachers on internship terms.
Macharia said TSC has so far retooled a total of 229,292 teachers on Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessment (CBA) since April 2019.
She said a total of 60,642 JSS teachers have been retooled from May 2023 to November 2024.
TSC plans to employ additional 18,000 JSS intern teachers in December to address the staffing gap.
In 2019, 2020 and 2021 a total of 1,000 P1 teachers were deployed each year to secondary schools while in 2022 to 2024 around 8,378 teachers were deployed to serve the first cohorts of the CBC in JSS.
Other factors that shall be considered during the deployment will be subject combination, gender and SNE qualification where teachers with SNE qualification shall be posted to Special JSS.
Primary School teachers wishing to be deployed to JSS must be qualified to teach in secondary schools.
(iv) Have a minimum of a Diploma in Education with a minimum of C+ at KCSE (or it’s equivalent) with C+ in two teaching subjects currently being offered in the school curriculum (either under 8-4-4 or CBC) or two (2) principles and one (1) subsidiary pass at “A” Level.
