TSC Harmonization Of Teacher Allowances And Specific New Hardship Areas By 2024
Revised TSC Hardship Allowances. TSC hardship areas are parts of Kenya that face extraordinary challenges, such as poor living conditions, accessibility, and infrastructure.
These places frequently lack basic amenities like power, clean water, and medical facilities.
Teaching is a noble vocation in which an educator molds students into responsible individuals who can function in every area of the fast-paced society, in addition to shaping professions.
Revised TSC Hardship Allowances
The Teachers Service Commission is in charge of hiring instructors for government-run elementary and secondary schools as well as paying and disciplining them.
However, some teachers may find themselves posted into areas classified by the TSC as hardship areas.
Teachers working in these hardship areas in Kenya are normally given an extra allowance referred to as hardship allowance. Hardship allowance is pegged on the teacher’s job group and is fixed no matter which hardship area in Kenya you are working from.
