The Teachers Service Commission has advertised 70,000 vacancies for primary and secondary school teachers to alleviate the effects of the ongoing strike.
A statement issued by the commission says 20,000 secondary school positions and 50,000 at the primary school level are available for qualified Kenyans.
TSC says the relief teachers will be hired on a three month contract upon which they will be considered for permanent employment when vacancies arise.
Interested candidates are required to apply through the commission's County Directors at their respective home counties not later than Monday next week.
