The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has issued an alert regarding a fake recruitment advertisement for 20,000 teachers on permanent and pensionable terms. The commission clarified that all official vacancies are announced via its official website, warning potential applicants against the scam.

• The fake advert circulated on social media claiming 20,000 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers jobs were available.
• The fake advert surfaced opportunistically as intern teachers are pushing for permanent employment, and after President William Ruto announced the hiring of 20,000 more teachers before next year.
• President William Ruto had previously stated that JSS teachers would receive permanent contracts after two years of service.
