Avoid Recruitment Fraud

The TSC emphasizes that the recruitment process is free of charge. Any person or agency claiming to offer special favors or requiring money is a fraudster. Report such individuals to:

• Deputy Director Staffing: 0202892131
• Email: dirstaffing@tsc.go.ke
• Or report to your nearest police station

Why This Matters

With the demand for quality education increasing across Kenyan public schools, the replacement of exited teachers is crucial for sustaining learning standards. This recruitment drive is particularly significant for unemployed P1 certificate holders who have long waited for such an opportunity.

Final Thoughts: Prepare and Apply Early

If you’re a qualified P1 certificate holder, don’t wait until the last minute. Prepare your documents, check your TSC registration status, and ensure you follow the correct application procedures. This is not just a job — it’s a career opportunity with pensionable benefits under one of Kenya’s most established public service commissions.
