There was uproar after the online system only allowed secondary school teachers to apply for the advertised vacancies.
Teachers’ employer has now come out to give the way forward for the affected teachers.

“In the January 2022 advertisement on natural attrition, primary school teachers will be selected from the merit list compiled during the recruitment of additional teachers – July 2021,” reads the statement.

The teachers recruited will serve on Permanent and Pensionable terms of service.
