Kenyan teachers have received TSC good news today as the Teachers Service Commission (TSC Kenya) has proposed a Ksh 382.3 billion budget for the 2025/26 financial year. If approved, this budget will fund the recruitment of 18,000 intern teachers, hiring of 18,000 permanent secondary school teachers, and promotion of 20,000 teachers.
The announcement was made by Hon. Julius Melly (Tinderet), the Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Committee on Education, during a session with the Liaison Committee, led by Hon. Gladys Boss (Uasin Gishu). This move is expected to address teacher shortages and career stagnation, bringing hope to thousands of teachers across the country.
