Teachers Service Commission Secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni during a past press conference. The ongoing recruitment of teachers has created a crisis for thousands of graduates who cannot be employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). It has emerged that colleges are churning out graduates who do not meet TSC employment policy guidelines. All teachers who were admitted to university with a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education grade “C” for diploma training are not eligible for employment by the Commission. This week, TSC Secretary Gabriel Lengoiboni told a Senate committee that the Commission would not employ teachers who did not score a minimum of grade C+ in KCSE. “The government has set a minimum grade of C+ for one to join university. It is a C+. If you don’t have it, we will not employ you. You should go back and do your KCSE,” said Longoiboni on Thursday. Currently, most public and private universities admit students with a minimum of grade C for diploma training courses. In this year’s January intake, a university in Nyanza asked applicants with a C (plain) mean grade and at least a C (plain) in English and Kiswahili to apply for school based programmes.
