TSC intern teachers will get their overdue salary in the midst of a legal dispute.
In the midst of a court battle, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is about to pay intern teachers their late salaries.
A potential triumph in their long-running fight for just compensation may soon be achieved for the more than 56,000 interns who may soon receive their wage arrears directly into their accounts.
Recently, intern teachers bravely staged a walkout to demand that court decisions nullifying their contracts be followed, or else they would face legal repercussions.
Boniface Omari, who is representing junior school interns in Nairobi, emphasized the need to pay interns for their 15 months of work and disclosed that he is currently pursuing legal action to get TSC to fully repay them.
TSC owes intern instructors a staggering Sh26 billion in arrears, which emphasizes the urgent need for rapid payment.
Furthermore, intern teachers support government action to enforce the regulations about equal compensation for qualified instructors.
Primary interns receive Sh15,000 while secondary interns receive Sh20,000, with differences in pay still present after tax deductions and controversial housing costs.
In order to guarantee that educators are treated fairly, reform is necessary, as this conflict highlights structural problems in the education system.
Intern instructors are optimistic that the legal battle will end with a settlement that protects their rights and provides equitable pay in accordance with court decisions, even as public pressure grows.
