Navigating the 2025 TSC Teacher Recruitment: 2,014 Opportunities Await
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has unveiled an exciting opportunity with 2,014 job openings aimed at filling the gaps left by teachers who have departed the profession. In a public announcement made on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, the Commission confirmed that all selected candidates will be offered Permanent and Pensionable positions.
These vacancies span various educational levels: 1,309 roles are available in primary schools, 32 in Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), and 673 in secondary schools. The recruitment will adhere to the TSC Recruitment Guidelines for the 2024/2025 Financial Year, as outlined in Circular Nos. 19/2024 and 20/2024.
Eligibility and Application Steps
To be eligible, applicants must be Kenyan citizens and registered teachers with the TSC. Those seeking primary school positions should possess a P1 certificate, while candidates for JSS and secondary school roles must hold a diploma in education, with a minimum KCSE Grade of C+ and at least a C+ in two teaching subjects.
All applications must be submitted online. Interested candidates can apply through the TSC website at www.tsc.go.ke under the ‘Careers’ section or via teachersonline.tsc.go.ke. The application window closes at midnight on Monday, May 19, 2025.
The Commission has also made detailed vacancy information available by county and school on its official website.
Guidelines for Applicants
TSC has made it clear that shortlisted candidates are required to present their original academic and professional certificates during interviews. They have cautioned against submitting multiple applications, stating that “Filling of two or more Application for Employment Forms will lead to disqualification.”
No manual submissions will be accepted, and priority will be given to applicants who have not previously worked with TSC. Emphasizing its commitment to inclusivity, TSC encourages individuals with disabilities (PWDs) to apply and positions itself as an equal opportunity employer.
Importantly, the Commission reminds all applicants that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge.
