The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is negotiating on behalf of tutors seeking employment overseas with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Labor, among other relevant parties.
According to TSC Director of Legal Calvin Anyuor, Kenya has an excess of teachers, therefore getting them a chance overseas will be wise.
Because we have more teachers than we need in the nation, we have begun collaborating with important stakeholders to export the teaching resource.
“We are engaging Ministry of Labour, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant government agencies so that our teachers can go and teach English in Germany,” Anyuor said.
Anyuor continued by saying that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is attempting to guarantee the country’s teachers a place in the market abroad.
For the thousands of teachers who have yet to get job offers from TSC, this is a relief.
Ensuring teachers graduating from different training colleges have the appropriate level of education will be a major responsibility of the Commission.
TSC currently employs over 400,000 teachers, and by the next year, the Commission hopes to hire 46,000 teacher interns on permanent, pensionable conditions.
The two-year contract arrangement for the interns is almost over.
