Reasons For TSC Disqualifying Applicants In Teachers’ Recruitment Exercise
Reasons For TSC Disqualifying Applicants In Teachers’ Recruitment Exercise
Under certain conditions, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) may disqualify candidates from participating in the recruitment process.
In this article, I will delve into some of the reasons given by TSC for disqualifying applicants from the recruitment process.
1.Forgery
The most common reason for disqualification during a recruitment process is applicants presenting forged documents. The University listed on the certificate is contacted to confirm the authenticity of the degree.
2. Teachers Who Are Deregistered
Teachers who have been deregistered, most likely due to dismissal from service or professional misconduct, are also disqualified during interviews.
3. Possession of Two TSC Numbers
During the recruitment process, teachers with two TSC numbers are also disqualified. Having two TSC numbers is the result of applying for a second TSC number after being deregistered due to professional misconduct.
4. Failure to Meet Minimum Requirements
Applicants who do not meet the minimum recruitment threshold are also disqualified during the interview or selection process.
To be hired by TSC, applicants must have a minimum KCSE grade of C+ and at least C+ in the two teaching subjects. Bridging requires a C (plain) in the teaching subject at A-level.

5. Unrecognized Institutions’ Certificates
Applicants with certificates from unrecognized institutions will also be disqualified during the TSC recruitment process.
A good example is a Kyambogo University Grade III teacher (Uganda). Kyambogo University’s Grade III certificates are not accepted by KNEC.
7. Failure to Declare Previous Employment
It is always important to remember that TSC requires applicants to state whether or not they have previously worked for the commission. If no one indicates, he or she is disqualified.
7. You Lack Teaching Exposure
Teachers who do not attend their teaching practice after completing the enhancement program will be disqualified during the interview process.

8. Not on the Graduation List
If an applicant’s name does not appear on the graduation list, he or she will be disqualified. As a result, evidence of being on the graduation list must be presented.
9. Certificates with Different Names
All names appearing on certificates must be consistent. If different names appear on the applicant’s certificate, he or she will be disqualified. To justify the name change, the teacher must submit a deed poll.
