The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has flagged a circulating poster fraudulently claiming to announce the recruitment of 46,000 teachers on permanent and pensionable terms.

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

TSC clarified that the widely shared poster purporting to advertise thousands of teaching vacancies across primary, junior and secondary schools is not an official communication.

“Reference is made to the above circulating poster. Please note that the information is misleading and fake,” the commission wrote in a notice issued on Monday, June 15.

TSC urged members of the public to disregard the poster and rely only on official communication channels, including the TSC website and verified social media accounts on Facebook and X.

Additionally, job seekers were warned to be cautious of fraudulent notices circulating online, noting that all legitimate recruitment information is formally published and announced.

“You are always advised to rely on official communication relayed through the TSC official channels,” the notice added.

The fake poster adds to the growing number of fraudulent communications targeting TSC amid sector-wide challenges affecting educators, contributing to a tense environment.

Widely circulated on social media, it has attracted attention from teachers awaiting developments on job security and working conditions.

It appears to target an ongoing sensitive issue within the education sector regarding the employment status of intern teachers.

The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers has, in recent months, pushed for the conversion of intern teachers to permanent and pensionable terms of service, staging strikes and issuing official statements.
