The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) faces a significant challenge in hiring 46,000 junior secondary school teachers on permanent and pensionable terms due to a budget shortfall. The Treasury allocated 13.4 billion shillings, 5 billion shillings less than the 18.7 billion shillings appropriated by the National Assembly's Budget and Appropriations Committee. Initially, the TSC requested 30 billion shillings for the conversion of teacher interns to permanent status. Despite the education sector receiving 656.6 billion shillings for the 2024-2025 financial year, the funding gap complicates efforts to improve teacher employment conditions. Teachers are advocating for a supplementary budget to address the deficit and ensure all intern teachers are accommodated.
