What is TSC Replacement 2025?

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) replacement process is not about new job creation; it’s about filling vacancies left behind by teachers who have exited service through retirement, resignation, death, or transfer.

Every year, schools lose staff due to these natural causes, and the TSC steps in to ensure the learning calendar isn’t interrupted.

The commission announced 9,159 replacement slots distributed across primary, junior secondary, and secondary schools. 7,065 posts for primary schools, 12 posts for junior schools and 2,082 posts for secondary schools.

These replacement positions are spread across all counties, depending on the number of teachers who left the service in each region. As a registered teacher under TSC, these replacements offer a perfect chance to secure a permanent and pensionable teaching job.
