This will definitely haunt those teachers who deliberately refused to turn up for recruitment internship that took place last year.
It is increasingly clear that the teachers’ employer has taken the move to award them ten clean marks in a bid to ensure that teachers who are employed by the commission and those yet to be employed take any guidelines given to them seriously.

The untold truth is that teachers serving in the internship programme sacrifice a lot owing to the fact that they are paid a very paltry stipend yet they are fully qualified teachers.
This is not the first time TSC is awarding ten marks to its prospective employees. In 2016, during the strike that grounded education sector to a halt, TSC hired 70,000-relief teachers for a period of three months.
These relief teachers were later awarded 10 marks during subsequent recruitments for their selfless service in plugging shortage, that had been occasioned by teachers on strike.
