The opportunity will enable teachers who missed their chance during the first and second deployments to secure slots, but only for those who submitted applications after the Commission allowed fresh applications.
All qualified P1 teachers who will be deployed will teach both Grade Seven and Grade 8 learners in junior secondary schools.
TSC will also issue official communication regarding the process of document verification and the posting of teachers by TSC Sub-County Directors after receiving lists of successful applicants.
