Teachers Service Commission (TSC) plans to develop a data bank for interviewed teachers for secondary schools which will guide the Commission to replace teachers who will exit the service within the 2022/2023 Financial Year.
From the list of five (5) shortlisted and interviewed candidates per vacancy in every secondary school in the country, the School Selection panel which is the Board of Management will be required to develop a vacancy specific merit list.
This implies that any future recruitment within 2022/2023 FY that is between July 2022 and June 2023, priority will be given to those who are listed in the data bank; without necessarily TSC having to do a fresh hiring exercise as it was the case before which is also seen as a move by the Commission to cut on the recruitment cost whenever such vacancies occur.
This means that those who were shortlisted and attended the just concluded interviews will automatically be considered for employment when the Commission will be doing any replacement of teachers who will have exited the service through natural attrition.
According to the guidelines after developing the vacancy specific merit list, the school selection panels shall be required to submit the list to TSC Sub-County Directors, who will submit the list for compilation of subjects specific merit list to the County Directors to generate a databank for the County, which shall be used to fill subject specific vacancies in subsequent recruitment processes within the FY.
