In the new recruitment guidelines released by TSC, qualified teachers who have evidence of internship will stand high chances of securing TSC jobs.
However, the commission has reduced marks for suitable applicants who will provide evidence for internship. Previously, applicants who produced evidence for internship secured 30 marks. Surprisingly, the commission has now reduced those marks to 15.
Of important to note is that teachers who are serving in internship programme will have a head start others. This will automatically give them an upper hand.
Here is how internship marks will be awarded:
Evidence of internship service
Served for three (3) years – 15 marks
Served for two (2) years – 10 marks
Served for (1) year -5 marks
MAXIMUM SCORE – 15 marks
Another factor that will increase chances of one to get employed is the quality of certificate. However, tutors teaching subjects combinations like Physics/Chemistry, Biology/Agriculture and Chemistry/Biology are easily absorbed by TSC since they are few.
