100000 Teachers To Get A Payrise In July Under New Deal. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is a key player in the hiring, remuneration, and recruitment of educators in a variety of job categories, including internship and permanent jobs. Teachers earn their pay on a regular basis, augmented by extra allowances.
The commission is also in charge of monitoring promotions, transfers, and disciplinary proceedings that take place within the teaching profession. It makes sure that all issues that have an impact on teachers are resolved in a timely and efficient manner.
When it comes to July 2024, most teachers are looking forward to a pay increase. For those who work there permanently, this raise is especially important because they have already started preparing for the next round of pay changes, which is set to start in July 2024.
The terms and conditions for the salary rise are outlined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). A recent agreement was signed between the TSC and the teachers unions.
It’s crucial to remember, though, that not every educator will gain from this much anticipated boost. Being employed by July 2023 and taking part in the first pay adjustment plan phase are prerequisites for eligibility.

The TSC, which is a division of the Ministry of Education, has received a sizeable funding allocation of sh 369.94 billion from the parliamentary budget committee. This allocation, which is pending final approval, demonstrates a strong commitment to education.
A portion of this money will be used to execute the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) for 2021–2025 in its entirety.
The agreement shows a concerted effort to improve the working conditions and pay for educators. This is because it was signed by a number of teachers unions. They included the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET), and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), in addition to employed teachers.
According to the terms of the CBA agreement, the first phase of pay adjustments began on July 1, 2023. Lastly, the final phase is scheduled to end on June 30, 2024. After then, the second and last stage of the TSC CBA salary increase is planned to start on July 1, 2024, and last through June 30, 2025.
All teachers who were employed on July 1, 2023, will be among those qualified. They will get preferential treatment in terms of pay adjustments during this second phase. In the continuous attempts to improve the welfare of teachers across the nation, this marks a critical turning point.
