About This Site

This site tracks one thing closely: TSC adverts and teacher applications in Kenya, explained in plain language. Right now our focus is the advert of Tuesday 10 November 2026, when the Teachers Service Commission announced 7,720 replacement teaching posts for the 2026/2027 year — 5,609 in primary schools, 25 in junior schools and 2,086 in secondary schools, all permanent and pensionable.

Teacher recruitment rounds move fast. The window for this one opened on 10 November 2026 and closes at midnight on Monday 23 November 2026. In between, teachers need straight answers: Do I qualify? Where are the vacancies in my county? Which form do I fill, and what gets an application thrown out? We answer those questions step by step, using the facts in the official advert and nothing else.

Here you will find the advert broken down level by level, the requirements for each post explained in simple terms — the P1 certificate for primary posts, a Diploma in Education for junior and secondary posts, and TSC registration for everyone — plus a walkthrough of the Teachers Online portal and the mistakes that lead to disqualification.

We also keep the fraud warning front and centre. Applying for these posts is free, and every round still attracts people who try to sell fake help. If a story on this site can save one teacher from paying a fraudster, it has done its job.

We are a small independent information site. We are not TSC, we do not work for TSC, and we cannot submit an application for you or influence a shortlist. What we can do is read the advert carefully, check dates and numbers twice, and lay the process out so you can apply correctly and on time, on the official portals at tsc.go.ke and teachersonline.tsc.go.ke.

New rounds come and go, and county breakdowns change with each advert. We update our pages when TSC publishes new information, and we correct our pages when a reader spots an error. If you are applying in this round, start with the advert breakdown, check the requirements page against your own certificates, and submit early.
