The National Assembly’s Committee on Education has called on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to compile data on registered teachers aged 45 and above who are yet to be formally employed.

Led by Vice Chairperson and Kabondo Kasipul MP Eve Obara, the lawmakers said the data would help assess the financial implications of a one-off recruitment of these teachers. The aim is to ensure those in their prime are absorbed into the system to benefit from retirement packages and contribute their years of experience to the education sector.
