TSC Monthly Salary for Secondary & JSS Teacher 2024.
Background and Salary Increases for Teachers in Kenya
Over the years, teachers in Kenya have frequently taken to the streets, protesting for better pay from the government.
Fortunately, their efforts have been supported by the Kenyan National Union of Teachers (KNUT), which has fought vigorously, though with significant challenges, to secure salary increments for teachers.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) eventually agreed to increase teachers’ salaries in three phases.
Fair Compensation Is Essential
Long-standing issues with teacher pay and working conditions have made it necessary for the government to periodically negotiate and make changes.
These conversations are essential to guaranteeing that educators receive just compensation, which in turn supports their motivation and raises the standard of instruction they deliver.
The Teacher Service Commission’s (TSC) function
The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) is in charge of overseeing Kenya’s educational system. The TSC is in charge of hiring, assigning, and supervising educators in public schools.
The TSC has proposed a new teacher pay and grading scheme that takes into account previous modifications as of 2024.
TSC’s New Pay and Grading Scheme
The pay increases for several teacher categories in primary and secondary schools have been outlined by the TSC. Commencing on July 1st, 2023, the new compensation scale is being introduced in two stages.
Depending on their work group, secondary school teachers’ income ranges vary greatly. For example, a principal can make up to Ksh. 127,069 per month, while a Secondary Teacher III starts at Ksh. 35,614 per month. Following recent compensation modifications, this range represents secondary school teachers’ monthly earnings as of 2024.
In brief
Kenyan teachers’ pay structures have undergone substantial modifications as a result of the KNUT’s sustained agitation, negotiations, and SRC approval of the revisions.
With the goal of ensuring that educators receive just compensation for their hard work and dedication to the field, the TSC has updated its grading and salary system.
The new pay scale is anticipated to give much-needed financial respite and inspiration to the educators reshaping Kenya’s future once it is implemented.
