The teachers who are under C1 and B5 ( P1 teachers in primary schools ) are required to submit their details to TSC before Monday 18th March ,2024 for deployment Consideration.
TSC advertised 6,000 deployment slots to promote the serving primary school teachers with degree in secondary option as from next term.
Successful teachers will get a chance to be posted to serve in junior secondary school section currently established under CBC.
Primary school teachers to be deployed are those who are currently employed under permanent and pensionable terms by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC)
These specific category of teachers are those who have Diploma in Education with a minimum of C+ at KCSE.
A minimum of a C+ (Plus) in two teaching subjects currently being offered in the school curriculum is mandatory with a minimum of 8 units in each of the two teaching subjects.
Employed primary school teachers who have a general grade of C (plain) at KCSE or an equivalent with a Diploma in Education and have successfully enrollment and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Education qualify for deployment.
Following the current rise in the teacher shortage, TSC is under pressure to deploy more teachers to junior school to address the demand.

From the last records, most of those deployed are primary school teachers in job group C1 followed those in job group B5.
All the P1 teachers with degree certificates deployed to junior school will be placed at job group C2 .Here, they will serve for a period of 3 years and automatically move to job group C3 job cadre.
P1 teachers under B5 with diplomas and degrees who will be deployed will however start at TSC job group C1 .These teachers will also serve for a 3 year period then they will be elevated to job group C2 automatically and start enjoying new pay too.
Most p1 teachers have a Mean grade of C with C+ in two teaching subjects. Kindly consider them to upgrade with a diploma on secondary option and be deployed in Js to curb the shortage
When will those teachers with C plain mean grade and C+ in the teaching subjects be considered? They are demoralized
Actually it’s paining for those who have acted in various capacities not promoted Pls consider us and agewise we are bad. Thanks in advace
Most of those teaching Jss do not have the qualifications u are talking about.why are you allowing them to do so if the grade is what matters?
When shall Tsc consider the P1 Teachers with a Diploma in ECDE? And are already teaching in the Junior Secondary already?
Some of us are carrying the heaviest load in JSS. Just because we got a C mean grade does not mean we don’t qualify. Someone tell me why I am teaching 3 classes for English and 2 in business studies since JSS began if I am not qualified. Having missed on promotions too have made my knees wobble with jelly!
So someone with a C plain and a degree in secondary option and even B’s in two teaching subjects will be condemned to offer free services in JSS? This is so demoralizing!
