The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has rolled out a schedule for the confirmation of 20,000 teacher interns into permanent and pensionable (P&P) terms, with the exercise expected to pave the way for their deployment to schools in January 2027.
The recruitment roadmap indicates that Sub-County Directors will invite shortlisted candidates for the exercise between Friday, November 13, and Monday, November 16, 2026.
The next phase, involving the vetting of documents, completion of employment forms and issuance of employment offers, is scheduled to take place between November 23 and December 4.
During the 10-day exercise, candidates will undergo verification of their academic and professional documents as part of the selection process.
Complaints and document submission
The Commission has also set aside December 7 to 11 for handling complaints arising from the recruitment exercise at the county level.
Successful candidates' recruitment documents, including merit lists, will subsequently be submitted to TSC headquarters between December 14 and December 22 for further processing.
According to the schedule, the newly confirmed teachers will have 30 days to report to their respective schools, beginning January 4, 2027.
County Directors will be required to submit reports on the teachers' reporting status to the Director of Staffing by February 8, 2027.
The Commission is expected to receive the exit report on the 20,000-teacher recruitment exercise from the Chief Executive Officer by February 23, while the final report to the Full-Scale Commission (FSC) is scheduled for March 9, 2027.
The exercise marks a significant step in the Government's plan to transition 20,000 Junior School teacher interns to permanent and pensionable employment, addressing concerns over prolonged internship and employment security.
The latest recruitment schedule provides a clear timeline for the various stages, from candidate invitations and document verification to the eventual reporting of teachers to schools.
