Junior Secondary School teachers hired in January 2023 can now breathe a sigh of relief after the National Assembly intervened to have them employed on permanent and Pensionable (P and P)terms.
The 26,000 teachers hired in the first batch of the JSS internship programme will now be hired on P and P terms beginning July 1st.
The intern teachers, who have been holding demos to push for the P and P terms were to be confirmed in January 2025 in earlier communication from the Teachers Service Commission and President William Ruto.
Most of them currently serving have their internship contracts running to January 2025.
