List of shortlisted candidates, dates, and venues of interview July 2022
Teachers who applied for employment by the Teachers Service
Commission (TSC) will start their recruitment interviews on Thursday this week.
Some applicants have already received invitation SMS for the
interviews which will start on 21st July at 8:00am and end on 27th July 2022.
Some counties are yet to inform the applicants of the
interview but this should be done by tomorrow midnight.
However, TSC failed to honour its promise of publishing
shortlisted teachers on its website as it earlier said.
The Commission only made available shortlisting lists for
two regions i.e. Nyanza and Nairobi with other regions like Eastern, Central,
Coast etc missing.
TSC had said through its recruitment roadmap that it will
publish the shortlisted candidates on its website from Wednesday 13th July,
2022 to Friday 15th July, 2022.
Unemployed teachers relied on circulating excel lists on
various teacher whatsapp groups.
For PTE teachers they will have to submit the following
documents for verification during the recruitment interviews.
a) National identification card;
b) Certificate of Registration as a teacher;
c) Authentic evidence of service as a teacher intern (where
applicable);
d) PTE /DPTE Certificate;
e) KCSE certificates or its equivalent (include
certificates for attempts if one re-sat exams);
f) KCPE certificate or its equivalent (include
certificates for attempts if one re-sat exams);
g) Letter of Certification of results by KNEC (where
applicable);
h) Primary and Secondary School leaving certificates and
other relevant testimonials;
i) National Council of Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD)
Card (where applicable);
j) An Affidavit sworn under the Oaths and Statutory
Declarations Act, Cap 15 of the Laws of Kenya to explain the variance in names.
The unemployment crisis in the country is such huge with
over 356,000 jobless teachers putting in applications for the 14,000 jobs
advertised by the TSC.
The high number of applicants sets the stage for a stiff
recruitment exercise that will also leave hundreds of thousands dejected by
failure to secure jobs. This is despite there being an acute teacher shortage
in public primary and secondary schools.
For each of the advertised positions, only the top five
candidates will be shortlisted, in a departure from the past when long merit
lists would be developed although only a few stood a chance of getting the job.
“However, some areas like in the Asal [arid and semi-arid
lands] zones might have fewer applicants,” a source said. TSC intends to
complete the selection process and handling of complaints in the next two weeks
before the successful candidates report to schools on September 1 2022.
Post-primary teaching vacancies attracted the highest number
of applicants with 219,311 teachers expressing interest in the 4,000 new
vacancies available. Out of the advertised 1,000 new vacancies for primary
school teachers, the commission received 136,833 applications. Shortlisted
candidates will be recruited at the county level before being posted to their
respective schools.
TSC has also advertised 8,230 vacancies to replace teachers
who have quit the service through natural attrition.
The vacancies are both in primary schools (6,539) and
post-primary institutions (1,691) and attracted 327,882 applications.

COUNTY DIRECTORS TO SUBMIT REPORTING STATUS BY 3RD OCTOBER,
2022 |
Through affirmative action, TSC advertised for some
positions specifically targeting Mandera, Garissa and Wajir counties, which are
heavily understaffed.
Teachers from other regions have in recent years resisted
deployment in the region due to insecurity where non-locals are often targeted.
TSC intends to deploy 1,230 teachers in the region on both
permanent and pensionable and contractual basis. Applicants who have expressed
interest in the jobs are 21,194.
“To qualify for recruitment, a candidate must be teaching
under board of management in Garissa, Mandera or Wajir counties, if not hailing
from the three counties,” said Dr Nancy Macharia, the TSC chief executive, when
declaring the vacancies. This is to encourage teachers from the region to apply
for the jobs.
Dr Macharia added that the merit lists that will be
generated during the exercise will be used in subsequent recruitment within the
financial year.
The recruitment comes at a time when leading political
players are capitalising on the situation to promise trained but jobless
teachers jobs if they win.
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party presidential
candidate Raila Odinga has promised to employ all jobless teachers if he wins
while his main rival, Deputy President William Ruto of the United Democratic
Alliance has promised to employ 116,000 teachers in two years.
Joblessness among professionals despite chronic
under-staffing is not only in the education sector . Although public medical
facilities are understaffed, there thousands of medics who are either jobless
or under-employed.
