The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced 9,159 job vacancies to replace teachers who exited the service through natural attrition across public primary, junior, and secondary schools.
Natural attrition in this context refers to teachers who have left their positions due to various reasons, including retirement, resignation, death, medical or health-related retirement, voluntary departure, or the conclusion of their contracts.
These departures occur naturally, without any instances of dismissal or removal from their positions.

It noted that merit lists generated during the current hiring process for both primary and secondary schools will be used in subsequent recruitment phases within the financial year.
Shortlisted candidates will be required to present original academic and professional certificates, while applicants are strictly cautioned against submitting more than one Application for Employment Form, as doing so will result in disqualification.

Preference will be given to individuals who have not previously served under the Teachers Service Commission, and successful candidates should be prepared to take up postings in any part of the country, regardless of their interview location.
TSC also issued a warning about fraudsters targeting job seekers, stressing that the recruitment process is entirely free of charge. Any suspicious activity should be reported to the nearest TSC office, police station, or through official TSC contacts, including the Directorate of Staffing.
