Designated TSC hardship areas for teachers in Kenya

Teaching is a noble profession where a teacher not only shapes careers but also moulds the children into responsible adults who can fit into any aspects of the dynamic society. The Teachers Service Commission is responsible for employing teachers in government primary and secondary schools and also disciplining and renumerating them. However, some teachers may find themselves posted into areas classified by the TSC as hardship areas.
