The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has officially announced the recruitment of facilitators and trainers to support Junior School teachers in Integrated Science, Mathematics, and English. This national exercise falls under the School-Based Teacher Support System (SBTSS) within the Secondary Education Equity and Quality Improvement Programme (SEEQIP) — a flagship government initiative to strengthen quality and equity in secondary education across Kenya’s 47 counties.
According to TSC, a total of 2,340 facilitators and 289 lead facilitators will be engaged in this process to train and mentor Junior School teachers ahead of the 2025 national examinations. The move aligns with the Commission’s broader goal of building teacher capacity for effective delivery of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).

Objective of the Recruitment
The 2025 SEEQIP recruitment seeks to strengthen the capacity of Junior School teachers under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework. Facilitators will train teachers on effective curriculum delivery, modern assessment techniques, and digital learning integration.
“The facilitators will ensure uniform delivery of CBE and offer on-site professional support to teachers in their respective counties,” said a TSC official.
This exercise comes at a critical time when Kenya’s education system is undergoing a digital shift, including technology-driven training, assessment, and resource sharing. For teachers looking to improve their technological teaching skills, you can also read: 5 AI Tools for Mathematics Teachers.
