Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) was moved from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to the Public Service Commission (PSC). This decision was informed by TSC tough recruitment requirements.
TSC doesn’t recognize qualifications of trainers who undergo career progression in TVET. A tutor who holds a higher national diploma and scored a mean grade of C minus cannot be hired by TSC.
