TSC-who will be considered during recruitment process

Unemployed  teachers who graduated a long time ago will be considered in the January recruitment process, according to a report. Members of the National Assembly sought assurance after investigating why there is discrimination based on age or graduation year.

Previously, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) barred those above the age of 45 from consideration. In answer to a question from Malava MP Malulu Injendi, TSC’s chairman has promised missing teachers that they will be prioritized in the exercise.
