TSC Releases New Guidelines for Verifying Documents for JSS Interns.

TSC Releases New Guidelines for Verifying Documents for JSS Interns.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has set requirements for individuals who submitted and reached the short list for the 20,000 internship teaching opportunities in junior secondary schools (JSS) that it recently offered.

In several subcounties around the country, the Commission has started the document verification procedure for candidates who reached the short list today.

This occurs after the online application procedure concluded on November 4 at midnight. The document verification exercise will take place from November 11–22, 2024.

Selected candidates must provide a range of documents for verification, following the TSC’s mission.

The following documents must be produced by the applicants throughout the subcounty verification process:

proof of teacher registration in the form of a copy of the Teacher Registration Certificate or printout from the TSC website;
A copy of the card issued by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), if appropriate;
A duplicate of a passport or National Identity Card (ID); two (2) passport-sized color photos;
a duplicate card from the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF);
a copy of the Personal Identification Number (PIN) issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority.
The successful applicants will be sent to different schools in early January after TSC verifies their documents and requires them to sign a one-year internship agreement.

All JSS instructors will be retooled at the sub-county level between December 2 and December 5, 2024, as TSC has already indicated.

The Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessments (CBA) will be covered in the training for the teachers.

The purpose of the one-year Teacher Internship Program is to prepare and maintain the skills of those preparing to enter the teaching profession.

The program’s goal is to place jobless registered instructors in educational institutions where they will receive coaching, mentoring, and exposure to real-world teaching situations.

Although most of the present intern teachers have been with the company for two years, the internship will last for twelve months.

An internship with a teacher is not a paid position. However, a monthly salary of Kshs. 20,000/= will be available to interns affiliated with junior secondary institutions.

Statutory deductions such as NHIF, housing levy, and NSSF, if applicable, will be applied to the stipend’s payment.

Teacher interns who successfully complete the internship program will receive a certificate.

TSC gave 50 marks to instructors who completed internships in this year’s scorecard for hiring 46,000 teachers on permanent and pensionable conditions, allowing those who completed internships to automatically convert to PNP.
