Education News has reliably learned that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has employed approximately 1,427 Science subject teachers to serve in the Coast region.
Speaking to Education News in his office at the Uhuru na Kazi building in Mombasa town recently, the new Coast regional TSC director, Fredrick Ng’ang’a, revealed that the region desperately needed Science Subject teachers and recruited them to serve the region.
He further disclosed that the region had only Arts Subject teachers but lacked Science Subject teachers.
However, the New Coast regional TSC director stated that the 1,427 Science Subject teachers recruited in January this year were distributed to the six counties in the Coast region.
Ng’ang’a disclosed that the teachers were distributed to the six counties in the Coast region as follows: Kilifi County received 548 teachers, Kwale (349), Taita Taveta (182), Mombasa (145), and Tana River (121), while Lamu received 90.

Additionally, he urged all regional education stakeholders to cooperate fully to improve academic standards and national examinations.
“Better performance in national examinations equally needs collective responsibility by all education stakeholders, teachers, students and parents,” noted Ng’ang’a.
At the same time, he asked education stakeholders in the region to team up and ensure that they provide schools with physical learning facilities.
The director revealed that the trend would enhance effective teaching and learning.
Ng’ang’a added that the learning environment in schools is not conducive due to the lack of essential facilities.
“Lack of physical learning facilities in schools equally contributed to dismal performance in national examinations”, Mr. Ng’ang’a added.
He also asked secondary school principals in the region to redouble their efforts to post impressive results in the 2025 KCSE.
He further told parents and political leaders in the region to stop blaming teachers for poor performance in national examinations and instead visit their schools to understand exactly the problems affecting them.
