    "content": "2. Transparency and accountability, equity, fairness and impartiality, inclusiveness and non-discrimination. Broad national objectives which include enhancing national cohesion and integration among communities. 3. Promotion of objectivity and certainty as the applicants are conscious of their chances of being recruited in any of the vacancies declared. 4. Affirmative action and people with disabilities are treated to a different score to increase their chances of being recruited. 5. The criteria are as approved by the Members of the Commission as per the established procedure pursuant to Article 237(b) of the Constitution. The third question is: What measures has the TSC put in place to amend the recruitment policy in view of the fact that certain requirements under the criteria such as internship has disadvantaged many candidates? Internship programme is a Government policy that ensures that young people are accorded the opportunity to acquire practical skills and experience to make them ready for the job market. In line with the Government’s policy on internship, the internship programme in the Commission is intended to provide the opportunity for qualified teachers to acquire, develop and sharpen their teaching skills and also learn the ethos of the teaching service. The Commission, through its experienced teachers, offers coaching and mentorship to interns with a view of making them all- round teachers. Hon. Members may note that the engagement is conducted through an elaborate, open transparent and competitive selection process targeting teachers who are yet to enter the employment of the Commission. Advertisement, selection and engagement of teacher interns is governed by the same teacher employment policy that governs recruitment of teachers under permanent and pensionable terms. Therefore, recruitment of interns being administered under the same policy as for teacher employment ensures that both candidates, namely the interns and teachers, pass through the same criteria before engagement."
