TSC Unveils Plan to Upgrade Teachers and Secure Permanent Jobs for 46,000 Interns.
In a pivotal move set to influence Kenya’s education sector profoundly, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia unveiled a plan aimed at promoting teachers and converting 46,000 interns to permanent, pensionable terms.
This announcement precedes the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, underscoring the government’s renewed dedication to uplifting educators and enhancing the education landscape.
During a visit to Mombasa, Dr. Macharia highlighted the government’s commitment by announcing a budget allocation of Ksh1 billion to fund this transformative initiative.
She joined senior Ministry of Education (MoE) officials, led by Principal Secretary (PS) Belio Kipsang’, to oversee the distribution of the first KCSE exam papers.
“The promotion and conversion of our hardworking intern teachers into permanent and pensionable terms is a step toward ensuring stability in our teaching work force,” said Macharia.
This funding reflects broader efforts to strengthen job security for teachers, boost their morale, and lay a robust foundation for the education system.

Macharia noted the commitment to enhancing teachers’ job security, morale, and contribution to the education system, affirming that this initiative serves as a testament to the government’s investment in educators’ well-being.
The conversion of 46,000 interns to permanent roles is expected to bring much-needed stability to teachers who have sought long-term job security and pension benefits.
This shift is seen as a crucial step in reducing teacher turnover and strengthening the quality of education provided in schools nationwide.
“We recognize the indispensable role teachers play in shaping the future of our nation, and this investment affirms our commitment to their welfare.”
By providing permanent roles, the TSC hopes to fortify the teaching workforce and ensure consistent delivery of quality education across Kenya.

The announcement comes as over 800,000 students sit for their KCSE exams, a significant time for students, parents, and educators alike.
