In any event that the Internship may be discontinued by the Intern, he/she will;

1. Submit a written letter of resignation/ termination of the contract to the Commission through the Supervisor by giving thirty (30) days Written Notice.
2. Giving a two (2) weeks’ Written Notice before taking up employment offered to him/her before the expiry of the agreed internship period.

Last week the Teachers Service Commission advertised a total of 2,120 posts to replace teachers who have exited service through Natural Attrition (1591 posts for Primary Schools and 529 posts for Secondary Schools).

All interested candidates should submit their applications to the respective County
Directors and Boards of Management as above not later than Wednesday 5th February, 2020.
