The Commission has already calculated preliminary scores for each of the shortlisted applicants. The calculation by TSC is based on the Year of Graduation and strength of the academic papers. For instance, a secondary school teacher who graduated in 2016 and with a qualification of a Second Class Honors Degree (Upper Division) would score 25 and 30 marks respectively to sum up to 55%. Effectively, teachers who graduated earlier and have stronger academic papers stand a better chance of clinching the positions.Below is a sample of the marking scheme to be used during the interviews;
