The TSC has also indicated that it has not yet compiled data of unemployed registered teachers per county. This information can be supplied once the data is compiled. (b) Recruitment of teachers across the country is premised among other factors, on the availability of funds and existence of vacancies in authorized establishments.

The TSC identifies the shortage of teachers in each school and replaces the teachers who have exited service and ensure that these are replaced immediately to improve curriculum implementation. The TSC also engages unemployed teachers on an internship programme targeting unemployed qualified teachers. This programme is governed by the Teacher's Internship Policy and Guidelines 2019 and is in line with the Government policy to equip graduates with practical skills and competencies for the job. Under the internship programme, it is aimed, among others, to promote development and job competencies with clear linkages between education, training and practical work. Since the inception of the programme in 2019, the TSC has engaged 94,300 teachers. Interns are shown in the table provided-"
