President Ruto has said that Junior Secondary School (JSS) intern teachers will be offered permanent and pensionable employment after serving for two years.
During a media roundtable at State House on Sunday, the President urged the intern teachers to remain patient and trust the process.
Ruto emphasized that they will be prioritized for employment after completing the internship.
“The JSS intern teachers will be at work in January. We had promised that before being employed on permanent and pensionable terms in all the sectors, they must do an internship for two years,” he said.
The teachers had expressed concerns about working for a year without proper employment terms, despite the heavy workload they face in schools.
The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) initially hired them on a one-year contract basis and they are currently renewing their contracts for another year.
