The Teachers' Service Commission (TSC) has come under scrutiny after graduate teachers expressed frustration over the delays in the issuance of TSC numbers.
Addressing the press on Saturday, February 22, the teachers revealed that the delays in obtaining these critical documents left many of them grappling with unemployment.
The teachers also urged the commission to revise the internship duration from the current one year to less than a year to ease the job crisis in the education sector.
According to them, placing a graduate teacher in internship positions for more than a year strained their lives and forced some of them to quit before obtaining permanent employment. TSC CEO Nancy Macharia speaking at the launch of the 2023 national examinations season on September 25, 2023.
