Teachers Who Will Miss July TSC Recruitment

The commission which employs the Teachers cites suggestions from the presidential working party on education changes.

This is as well as constitutional measures to support these reforms.

The commission has stated that going forward, it will give preference to employing teachers with degrees over those with certificates in elementary education.

It is recommended that teachers who already hold PTE certificates graduate to a diploma in order to comply with the Competency-Based Curriculum standards (CBC).

According to the commission, a diploma in education serves as the prerequisite for those wishing to enter the teaching profession.

Additionally, TSC permits post-training certification upgrades for those who have finished ECDE, PTE, DTE, BED, DIP ED, and SNE programs.

All of the teachers who meet the requirements outlined in TSC’s new proposal will be qualified to instruct students in grades 1 through 3 and grades 4 through 6.
