Hundreds of teachers and non-teaching staff who have been shortlisted for government payroll jobs in seed schools at secondary level in West Nile (Cluster nine) will not be subjected to aptitude tests but will go straight to oral interviews, the Education Service Commission (ESC) under first lady Janet Museveni’s Ministry of Education and Sports has indicated.
The ESC has released the shortlist for candidates who qualified for aptitude tests under cluster nine or West Nile.
The shortlist includes candidates who emerged successful from the thousands of teachers and non-teaching staff who responded to ESC Advert No. 4/2024 issued on December 23, 2024 for the posts of teaching staff or teachers – Education Officer (EO), and Assistant Education Officer (AEO); as well as Non-teaching Staff (NTS): Senior Accountant Assistant (SAA), Nurses, Stenographer Secretaries, Library Assistants and Laboratory Assistants.
While the Education Service Commission has released the names of centres and dates for aptitude tests in its schedule, some candidates who have made the shortlist have been exempted and will only wait for oral Interviews (and the shortlist for the same).
The ESC will make another shortlist from the group doing their aptitude tests this week.
The list of successful applicants who will be shortlisted for oral interviews is expected before the Easter break, The Pearl Times has learnt.
“[That shortlist] will also include names of applicants directly shortlisted for oral interviews for different subjects in different schools under cluster 9 whose ratios did not require aptitude testing,” said ESC secretary Dr Asuman Lukwago.
