“In the coming financial year, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani has earmarked TSC Sh2.5 billion for the recruitment of 5,000 permanent teachers,” Macharia added.
She went on to say that in the Financial Year 2022/2023, another Sh1.2 billion was set up to recruit 6,000 interns as a stopgap measure to ease the shortage.
