TSC Deployment Letters for P1 Teachers: May 2024 Batch.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will send out deployment letters to the third batch of Primary Teacher Education (P1) teachers who qualify for junior schools starting in May 2024. This initiative comes as a response to the significant shortage of teachers in junior secondary schools, highlighted by TSC earlier this year in January 2024.
CEO Concerns and Response
Dr. Nancy Macharia, the CEO of TSC, expressed concerns about the severe shortage of teachers in junior secondary schools. Currently, there are approximately 56,928 teachers, while the schools require around 99,045 teachers. To address this shortage, TSC advertised 6,000 deployment slots for primary school teachers with a degree in secondary education.

Application Process and Deployment
The application deadline for these deployment slots was on 18th March 2024. Successful applicants will begin receiving their posting letters to serve in junior secondary schools starting early next term. TSC emphasized that qualified teachers who applied for deployment should expect to receive their deployment letters.
To expedite the salary payment process for deployed teachers, Sub-County Directors and Primary Headteachers must promptly handle the release and reception of teachers upon receiving their deployment letters. The County Directors will initiate the posting process and utilize the Entry or Exit Reports Module at the Sub-County level.
The TSC Sub-County Directors will handle the posting of P1 teachers with deployment letters to junior secondary schools. All entry and exit procedures for teachers who will receive deployment will take place online. Currently TSC no longer accepts or processes hard copy documents.
In cases where a teacher is retained at the same station, the Head of the Institution must complete the exit process from the primary school and submit the new entry report for the junior secondary school. These streamlined procedures aim to efficiently deploy qualified teachers to address the critical teacher shortage in junior secondary schools.
