JSS interns Salaries and allowances following latest TSC Review.
Pay for new JSS interns Government pronouncements state that around 26,000 contract instructors employed in junior secondary schools in 2023 would be granted permanent, pensionable terms beginning on July 1st.
Many had expressed concerns about their incomes, which some had claimed were insufficient to preserve their way of life, so they were relieved to receive the confirmation.
JSS interns were paid Sh20,000 per month, while lower elementary students were paid Sh15,000.
There is no teacher health insurance plan or allowance available to intern teachers.But with their protest now going on for more than two weeks, one could wonder how much money they will make in terms of pensions and permanent income.
The vast majority of JSS interns have degrees or diplomas.
