TSC Advertises 7,720 Permanent Teaching Jobs Across Kenya, Applications Close November 23

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has opened applications for 7,720 teaching positions in public schools, offering successful candidates permanent and pensionable employment.

According to the commission, the vacancies are distributed as follows:

Applications opened on November 10 and will close at midnight on Monday, November 23, 2026.

To qualify, applicants must be Kenyan citizens and registered teachers with TSC. Primary school applicants must hold at least a Primary Teacher Education (P1) certificate, while those applying for junior and secondary school positions need a minimum Diploma in Education.

The commission requires all applications to be submitted online through its official website, under the Careers section, or through the Teachers Online recruitment portal. Manual applications will not be accepted.

Candidates are also warned against submitting multiple applications, as this may lead to disqualification. Shortlisted applicants will be required to produce original academic and professional certificates during interviews.

TSC has emphasised that recruitment is completely free and warned jobseekers against individuals demanding money in exchange for employment.

Successful candidates should also be prepared for deployment anywhere in the country, depending on the available vacancies.

The recruitment provides an opportunity for qualified unemployed teachers to seek entry into the public teaching service as the government continues addressing staffing gaps in schools.
