He further emphasized the government’s commitment to reducing the teacher shortage by filling 14,648 positions allocated by the President. “I urge all those invited for the interviews to prepare thoroughly, as these positions are highly competitive,” he said.
“In addition, given the current educational needs, we will also recruit vocational specialists. I encourage all successful candidates to commit to advancing their skills to meet the demands of their public service roles,” Simbachawene added.
To reduce travel costs for candidates, Simbachawene noted that interviews will be conducted in the regions where each applicant resides.
“The Recruitment Secretariat advised all candidates to update their information on the Employment Portal, particularly under the section marked ‘current physical address.’ We have allocated interview centers based on the addresses provided,” he explained.
The minister also urged all applicants to ensure they report to their designated interview centers, as all necessary arrangements will be made at those locations.
Additionally, the preliminary selection phase for teaching positions will involve handwritten tests across all levels of education and teaching cadres.
