About 44 teachers retire, die or resign each day, according to a Teachers Service Commission (TSC) survey that was conducted between March and July 2022. This is an extremely high number to leave the profession.
Data from the commission indicate that it lost 8,018 teachers between June 2022 and January 2023, a period of about six months. This means it lost an average of about 1,336 teachers each month. Needless to say, the exit of teachers threatens learning in schools.
