The Ministry said in a press release dated January 28 that the hiring procedure is solely based on merit and that no other consideration is given at all.
Prospective Senior High School students, parents/guardians, and the general public are now warned against any type of payment to shady persons, proposing to ensure their desired choice of school during the 2023 Computerized School Placement into Senior High/TVET Schools."
The Ministry promised a fair, transparent, and merit-based hiring procedure to the general public.
