The announcement comes a month after TSC CEO Nancy Macharia admitted that junior secondary schools are struggling with teacher shortages.

Macharia disclosed that there is a shortage of 42,117 teachers, with only 56,928 teachers available for the needed 99,045.

The TSC boss also pointed out that there is an excess of 18,194 teachers in primary schools that the commission plans to redistribute to schools facing understaffing to maintain the recommended 1:40 teacher-learner ratio.
