(2) What measures has the Ministry put in place to address TSC’s low absorption rate of teachers, particularly those who have remained jobless since 2010? (3) Could the Cabinet Secretary outline any collaborative efforts between the Ministry of Education and TSC to ensure teacher employment across all regions, particularly addressing disparities where some counties have higher numbers of unemployed teachers, and to promote fairness and equity in recruitment?"

"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Article 237(2)(a) of the Constitution of Kenya grants the TSC the mandate to register teachers who meet the qualifications for registration under the TSC Act. To execute the mandate, the TSC has established an online teacher registration portal to facilitate efficient and effective teacher registration. However, since the process of registration is voluntary, some of our graduates from Teachers’ Training Colleges (TTCs) and universities are yet to register. An analysis of the teachers’ register indicates that there is a total of 343,485 registered teachers who are not employed by the TSC as summarised in Table 4 that we The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "provided. In summary, for post-primary education, there are 4,510. For primary education, we have 124,061. The Early Childhood Development and Education (ECDE) has the largest number of 134,914, making a total of 343,485. The TSC has not obtained data of how many Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) teachers have been employed by the county governments and is in the process of ascertaining the data per county. 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. In a bid to address the low employment of qualified teachers in the public sector, the TSC has done the following- The Ministry and the TSC annually submit budgetary proposals and policy recommendations to the National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Education, advocating for adequate funding and legislative support to facilitate recruitment of teachers. 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-"
