What you need to know:

  • The teachers said the system favours those who graduated earlier irrespective of their qualifications.
  • The jobseekers are now calling for a review of the system so that it gives all deserving candidates an equal chance.
  • The commission had to reschedule the recruitment after it was overwhelmed by the high number of applicants.

Teachers who applied for the 11,574 vacancies advertised by their employer have bitterly complained that the scoring system used to recruit is grossly flawed and disadvantages some candidates.  

The jobseekers are now calling for a review of the system so that it gives all deserving candidates an equal chance based on their qualifications rather than the parameters set by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
