Teachers who are hired under the Teachers Service Commission’s internship program must commit to a one-year commitment.
It’s crucial to remember, however, that intern instructors are entitled to apply for permanent positions advertised by TSC.
Unsatisfactory performance or inability to adhere to the Internship’s rules of behavior may result in the internship being terminated at the Commission’s or an Officer’s or Agent’s discretion.
The internship will be unpaid, according to the TSC internship agreement.
Interns, on the other hand, shall receive a stipend as set by the Commission from time to time.
The Commission will make a financial allocation in this regard on an annual basis.
Currently, two deductions are made from intern teachers salary; Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The total amount deducted is Ksh 950.00. The teacher gets home Ksh. 19,050.00 after all deductions have been made.
This amount would increase far after the next slot of intern teachers have been employed. Below is a new breakdown of secondary school intern teachers salary according to the new proposal.
For the secondary teachers, salary will still continue with only the current two deductions; Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The total amount deducted is Ksh 950.00. The teacher gets home Ksh. 24, 050 after all deductions have been made.
Those in primary school two deductions will be made from their salary; Ksh 200.00 for the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and Ksh 750.00 for the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). The total amount deducted will be Ksh 950.00. The teacher then takes home Ksh. 19,050.00 after all deductions have been made.
The adjustments will be effected from the next calendar year. Those serving internship contract and would have not secured permanent job will climb along upon their renewal of contract.
