TSC County Allocation for 1,309 Primary School Teacher Positions.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has outlined the county-level distribution for 1,309 teaching vacancies in public primary schools across Kenya.
These slots are designated for the replacement of teachers who left the service due to natural attrition. The recruitment process, scheduled for April 2025, targets regions that have recorded staffing gaps to maintain continuity in basic education.
According to the TSC, the vacancies are spread across multiple counties, with some receiving significantly more allocations based on the extent of demand and attrition in their schools.
Each sub-county’s share reflects the teacher deficit noted over recent months, and TSC officials emphasized the equitable distribution based on regional needs.
