By White Luhanga – ZNBC
The Teaching Service Commission is this year expected to recruit 5,500 teachers, subject to treasury and cabinet approval.
Commission Chairperson, Daphne Chimuka , says 5,500 the teachers to be recruited include 2000 teachers who should have been recruited last year and 3,500 allocated for 2026.
In an interview with ZNBC News, Ms. Chimuka explained that the commission was supposed to recruit 2,000 teachers in 2025, after Treasury Authority was granted in October, 2025 , pushing the process into 2026.
She further stated that the Ministry of Finance has allocated funds for the recruitment of 3,500 teachers this year but has not yet given Treasury authority.
Ms Chimuka said once approvals are done, the public will be informed.
