The government plans to put 26,000 JSS intern teachers on permanent and pensionable status in the next financial year starting from June 2024. Parliamentary Education Committee chairman Julius Meli disclosed that the intern JSS teachers currently hired on contract will be absorbed by TSC as funds have been allocated by Parliament. “Parliament has allocated TSC with a kitty to hire 26,000 JSS interns on a permanent basis, the remaining would be absorbed in the subsequent years, hence we need them to be patient,” Meli said. "The government through the Public Service Commission will also hire 2,000 TVET trainers in the coming financial year," Meli said. The MP said the Kenya Kwanza administration was spending Sh 1.1 trillion in revenues to service debts incurred by the previous administration.
