According to the Deputy Director of Teaching Service Commission (TSC) Kono, Max Fallah Sengu, over 800 schools ranging from Pre-primary, Junior, and Senior Secondary schools are in Kono District and 4000 government pin-coded Teachers in Kono District.
He said that looking at the growing number of schools in the district and comparing the teachers on payroll, is one of the challenges they are faced with as commission. He added that they are far behind in terms of teachers’ issues. For Community Teachers, he said they are the major auxiliary to aid the schools noting that, without the community, it would be difficult for Teachers to teach in the schools.
"We have more Community Teachers than government pin-coded Teachers in our schools," he said.
