At least 350,000 unemployed teachers will fight it out for 28,000 job openings in January.

The recruitment drive will include 20,000 intern teachers for junior secondary schools to address the teacher-to-learner ratio, as announced by President William Ruto in October.

The remaining 8,707 positions will be permanent, pensionable roles, aimed at replacing teachers who have retired, resigned, or died.

Of the total vacancies, 5,862 are for primary schools, 21 for junior secondary schools, and 2,824 for secondary schools.
