In response management indicated that it has to be noted that before November 2021, there was an acute shortage of qualified Primary School teachers as they were exhausted in the market,” the report reveals.

According to the report, this resulted in many vacant posts at primary schools which went unfilled for a very long time. It, however, notes that to address this, the Ministry of Education and Skills Development and the establishment registers took a deliberate decision to engage graduates with diplomas in Secondary Education and certain degree disciplines permanently at primary schools.
