Category Of Teachers To Benefit From TSC Salary Increment. Those employed on 1 July 2023 will benefit from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) planned implementation of Phase 2 of the teacher pay rise, which is scheduled to begin in July 2024.
Following the agreement disclosed by Kiharu Member of Parliament Honorable Ndindi Nyoro during the 2024-2025 budget allocation announcement, the TSC intends to implement phase 2 of teacher salary increases.
TSC received the lion’s share of the financial allocation for education under these budget forecasts.
Part of the Sh369.94 billion allocated to teachers’ employers will go towards the implementation of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA).
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) have already signed a CBA agreement with TSC.
On August 28, 2023, phases of the salary increase agreement were signed.
According to the agreement, the teacher salary increase would be implemented in two stages from July 1, 2023.
The first phase of the agreement, which TSC is now using, was put into effect and runs from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The second and final phase, which runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, was then implemented.
Teachers also get different rates of allowances under the following four categories.
These include;
Cluster 1 which includes the city of Nairobi
Cluster 2:
which includes the cities of Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru, the municipalities of Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi and Kitale.
Cluster 3:
which covers Other former municipalities.
Cluster 4:
which covers all other areas.
The TSC has kept the House allowance rates for clusters 1, 2 and 3 under the terms of the initial phase agreement.
However, the Commission reviewed Cluster 4, whose prices will be applied in two phases.
TSC says the first phase of the agreement came into effect when wages were paid in August 2023, with arrears backdated to January 7, 2023. The second phase is due to come after that and is scheduled to be paid on January 7, 2024.
Teachers will receive information from their company in June 2024 about what to expect when the second phase begins as needed.
