Kenya's education sector is set to receive a massive boost with the Treasury allocating Sh424 billion to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in the latest budget. However, in a surprise move, the government has deferred the absorption of intern teachers into the mainstream education system, sparking concerns among educators and students. The decision, which was made in the face of a growing teacher shortage, has left many wondering if the funds will be enough to address the chronic shortage of qualified educators in Kenya's schools. As the country grapples with the issue of teacher vacancies, the fate of thousands of intern teachers hangs in the balance, with many fearing they will be left without a permanent job.
