TSC Induction and Training for Teacher Recruitment Panels in the 2024/2025 Exercise

TSC Induction and Training for Teacher Recruitment Panels in the 2024/2025 Exercise.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) places a strong emphasis on ensuring transparency and accountability during the recruitment of teachers.

For the 2024/2025 financial year, the TSC has mandated the induction and training of recruitment panels to guarantee that the process aligns with the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.

Induction of TSC County Directors and Selection Panels

TSC Regional Directors play a crucial role in facilitating the recruitment process. They are responsible for inducting County Directors within their respective regions.

In turn, these County Directors are required to induct the members of the Sub-County Selection Panels involved in the recruitment process.

The induction process is comprehensive and focuses on familiarizing panel members with key legal and procedural guidelines. These include relevant sections of the TSC Act and the Code of Regulations for Teachers (CORT, 2015).

This step is taken before the commencement of the selection exercise to ensure that panel members are well-versed in the expectations and legalities surrounding the recruitment process.

Focus Areas of the Induction Process

The areas of focus during the induction include:

• Adherence to the Public Officer Ethics Act: Recruitment panels are expected to uphold the principles of integrity, fairness, and accountability throughout the selection process, as outlined in the Public Officer Ethics Act.
• Familiarization with TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics: The TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics (CoCE, 2015) is a key document that guides the behavior and decision-making of all public officers involved in the recruitment exercise.
• Special Training for Handling Applicants with Disabilities: The panels are also trained on ensuring accessibility for applicants with disabilities. This includes making sure that interview venues are accessible and that necessary accommodations are provided.

Role of the Regional Directors

The TSC Regional Directors are tasked with overseeing the entire recruitment process within their regions.

They ensure that the guidelines are strictly adhered to and that the recruitment process is conducted in a fair, transparent, and professional manner. This involves:

• Coordinating the recruitment process within the counties.
• Ensuring panel members are fully trained and inducted before the recruitment exercise.
• Handling any complaints that arise from the recruitment process in their regions.
