Vetting Process in TSC Recruitment: What Teachers Need to Know.

The recruitment of teachers under permanent and pensionable terms for the 2024/2025 financial year by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) involves a meticulous vetting process designed to ensure that all applicants meet the established criteria.

Below are key points regarding the vetting process that every applicant should be aware of:

1. Verification of Registration Status

• The TSC Sub County Director is responsible for verifying the registration status of all applicants. This verification is crucial as only duly registered teachers, as per Section 23(1) of the Teachers Service Commission Act, 2012, are eligible for consideration.

2. Submission of Documents

3. Required Documentation

• Candidates are required to present a range of documents, including:
  • National identification card
  • Certificate of Registration as a teacher
  • Primary Teacher Education (PTE) Certificate for primary school teachers applicants.
  • Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates for all attempts
  • Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) certificate for all attempts
  • Affidavit for any name discrepancies in academic and identification documents

4. Presentation Before Selection Panel

• Each applicant must appear in person before the Sub-County Selection Panel on designated dates. Failure to appear may result in disqualification from the recruitment process.

5. Document Certification

• The TSC Sub County Director will certify photocopies of the original documents after verification. This ensures that all documentation is accurate and meets the TSC’s requirements.

6. Disqualification for Fraudulent Documents

• Any applicant found to present forged or fake academic or professional documents will be disqualified and deregistered. This underscores the seriousness of providing truthful and accurate information during the application process.

7. Merit List Compilation

• After the verification exercise, the Sub-County Selection Panel will compile a Merit List of all applicants whose documents have been successfully verified. This list will play a crucial role in determining the candidates who will be invited for interviews.

8. Additional Considerations

• In cases where there is a tie in scores during the selection, the panel will consider factors such as the length of time since graduation and the strength of academic and professional certificates presented.

Conclusion

The vetting process for TSC recruitment is rigorous and aims to uphold the highest standards of transparency and accountability.
