Many are in a race but only a few win. Recently TSC announced the employment of 9000 teachers in junior secondary on permanent and pensionable terms. Many qualified teachers applied and they will be called for interviews. One can be successful but get a regret letter instead of an appointment letter from the TSC due to counterfeit documents or lack of important documents.
