The Ministry of Education has announced a 10 percent salary increase for teachers under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), effective starting this month.
The move is part of ongoing efforts to improve the welfare of educators and reward their contribution to the country’s education sector.
According to the ministry, the adjustment will automatically reflect in teachers’ pay starting from the upcoming salary cycle. The increase applies to all categories of TSC-registered teachers, including those in public primary and secondary schools, as well as technical and special needs institutions.
Officials have urged teachers to check their payrolls carefully to ensure that the increment is correctly applied.
Education authorities have also outlined key updates that teachers should complete before the 10th of this month. These include verifying personal details such as bank account numbers, identification records, and TSC registration information.
Teachers are encouraged to update any discrepancies through their respective TSC sub-counties or online portal to avoid delays in receiving the increased pay.
The ministry emphasized that this salary adjustment is part of a broader strategy to motivate teachers, enhance performance, and ensure that the education sector remains attractive as a career choice.
By addressing remuneration concerns, the government aims to boost morale among educators and support the continued delivery of quality education nationwide.
