Teachers hired in July of this year would be in luck since, according to Commission sources, many of them could be posted in their own counties.
Most counties, including Kiambu, Kericho, Kwale, Siaya, Tana River, and Kilifi, have already received their appointment letters, and some instructors may post their letters next week.
According to insiders, teachers hired as replacements are more likely to work in the county where they are employed.
It is expected that all instructors hired in July will be assigned to their respective stations in September.

To fill the teacher deficit in public schools, TSC advertised for 14,460 new hires in July 2022.
844 permanent seats have also been put up by TSC for schools in the north. The positions were reserved for teachers from the area through affirmative action.
TSC, however, lamented the low turnout for tutor recruitment last week in the sizable Wajir County.
The number of locals who showed up for the recruitment procedure was sparse, according to TSC county director James Ogongo.
This, according to Mr. Ogongo, was despite the commission running new job advertisements for 325 P1 teachers to fill the gap left by those who left in 2020 owing to unrest in the area.
325 instructors applied for positions in primary schools, but only 39 did so for positions in high schools.
Only four teachers out of the 325 applicants for the primary schools are natives of the county with
