Teachers Service Commission will now hire additional teachers to primary schools.
The Presidential Working Party on Education Reform has directed the hiring of additional 30,000 teachers for the junior secondary category.
This is because the learners will be domiciled in primary schools and not secondary school.
“MOE, KICD and TSC will work on modalities of fast-tracking retooling teachers to ensure the country has sufficient numbers who are compliant with CBC,” the report reads.
The team led by chairman Raphael Munavu also added that priority should be given to Grade 7 teachers during the hiring.
“Government will recruit an additional 30,000 teachers by January 2023 to facilitate the transition and bridge the teacher shortage” the report reads.
The working party has up to March 2023 to submit the final report.
