TSC hardship areas

TSC has mapped locations that are hardship areas and others that are not.

For an area to be classified as a hardship area it must satisfy the following conditions

• lack of food, its scarcity, or inability to access it
• Lacking fundamental social services and amenities, an inadequate network of transportation and communication,
• persistently bad weather conditions, including drought, landslides, and flooding, as well as unrest and a high likelihood of security concerns.

Teachers working in Schools situated in hardship areas(ASAL) have different benefits compared to their counterparts working in areas not mapped in hardship areas.
