NAIROBI, KENYA — Unemployed teachers across the country have received a major boost following an announcement by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) advertising 7,720 permanent vacancies across primary, junior, and secondary schools.
The new recruitment drive seeks to replace teachers who have left the teaching service through natural attrition. According to a notice issued by the Commission, successful candidates will be hired on permanent and pensionable terms after undergoing a shortlisted interview process.
Primary schools take up the lion’s share of the recruitment with 5,609 advertised slots. Secondary schools follow with 2,086 positions, while junior secondary schools account for 25 openings.
Interested applicants are required to submit their applications online through the official TSC portal (teachersonline.tsc.go.ke) or via the Careers section on the TSC website. The online application portal opened on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, and will officially close at midnight on Monday, November 23, 2026. TSC emphasized that manual applications will not be accepted.
To qualify, candidates must be Kenyan citizens and registered TSC teachers holding the required academic and professional qualifications. Primary school applicants must possess at least a P1 certificate, while those seeking positions in junior and secondary schools require a minimum of a Diploma in Education.
Applicants are strictly advised to submit only one application form, as multiple submissions will lead to automatic disqualification. TSC also noted that preference will be given to qualified teachers who have never been employed by the Commission.
Recruits must be prepared for deployment anywhere in Kenya, except for junior school replacements where teachers will be posted directly to the specific schools where vacancies occurred. Lastly, the Commission warned the public against fraudsters, emphasizing that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge.
