THE Education Service Commission is to recruit about 4,000 teachers and other staff for secondary schools as well as business, technical and vocational institutions this financial year.
Also included in the 4,000 are education commissioners, directors, principal education officers and other staff at the Ministry of Education headquarters as well as staff for the Directorate of Industrial Training and the Teacher Education sub-section.
In addition, the commission will promote 4,334 teachers in primary schools to the post of senior education assistant this year, the commission chairman Lubega Wagwa told journalists at a press conference in his office at Farmers House.
Of the 4,000 cadres to be recruited, 2,665 will be for senior secondary schools. They will include head teachers and their deputies, education officers and assistants, senior accounts assistants and laboratory assistants.
Commission secretary John Mbabazi said 910 people would be recruited into the business, technical and vocational institutions.
These will include principals and deputies, head teachers and deputies, lecturers, technical teachers, non-teaching staff and support staff.
The commission will recruit 44 officers for the ministry and 14 for the Directorate of Industrial Training at Lugogo.
It will also recruit 94 people, including lecturers, tutors and askaris for the teacher education sub-sector.
Interviews are going on for the business, technical and vocational institutions at the commission offices. They will continue up to December 11 at upcountry stations of Lira, Mbale and Mbarara, according to a statement by the commission.
Interviews for secondary school teachers will take place in December for those in the Central region and from January 4 to 16 for schools in other regions.
Advertisements for jobs in the ministry will be done in January 2010, while interviews will be held in April.
Mbabazi said the 2,665 people who will be recruited for secondary schools will include teachers with disability.
The commission officials also disclosed that the Government has grant- aided 31 secondary schools this financial year.
Wagwa noted that one of the biggest challenges the commission faces in the recruitment exercise is forgery of appointments. “Eradicating it may take some time,†he said.
