List Of Hardship Areas In Kenya
In this article Keweb.co tries to answer the question by publishing the full list of Hardship Areas in Kenya
The Teacher’s service commission (TSC) updates hardship areas on a regular basis. The commission maps various areas while considering different factors.
These hardship areas also include the arid and semi-arid places that are usually affected by famine and/or terrorism.
Tutors posted in these areas are paid a monthly hardship allowance that acts as a motivating factor since they face life threatening conditions that range from poor working environment to health threats.
However, the Commission recently excluded Nyandarua county, Muranga county, Kandara sub-county, Kigumo sub-county, and Nyahururu from hardship areas due to improved infrastructure.
