As recruitment of 10,000 teachers gets underway, those who graduated in 2015 or earlier have a head start as they will be scored higher during the interviews.

A recruitment manual The Standard has seen shows teachers who graduated in 2015 or earlier will be awarded 25 marks, as those who left college in subsequent years get five marks less.

At the same time, teachers who are holders of Masters degrees, as well as university graduates who scored First Class Honours, will also be awarded higher scores, according to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) marking sheet.
