Teachers all over the country are eagerly waiting to seeing how their January salaries will be, and examining the recent proposals on leave allowance and monthly pay when broken down by job grade will help educators in welcoming January with open arms.
Education pays fairly regardless of job grade, as long as you know where you fall within the grading structure. For example, education jobs from job grades B5 down to B4 have monthly salaries of around Sh59,574 to Sh70,231. Educators also see increases of salaries as the job grade gets higher.
An educator that belongs to job grades C1, C2, and C3 will likely make about Sh72,606 per month as a C1 educator, Sh90,930 as a C2 educator, and Sh109,305 as a C3 educator.
An educator who holds a C4 position will probably earn about Sh123,942 per month, while an educator that holds a C5 position is expected to earn approximately Sh139,389 in January.
Comprehensive descriptions and breakdowns regarding these job grades are included below.
Administrative and senior leadership earning levels show a further jump than teachers. Teachers in Job Grade D1 are expected to earn Sh163,847, and those in D2 will earn an approximate amount of Sh185,844, while D3 will receive an amount of approximately Sh207,140 for January, which demonstrates the added responsibility of leading at this level.
At the highest level of the scale, D4 teachers can expect to earn approximately Sh226,743 as a salary, and D5 teachers, who include the top school leaders, can expect to earn an approximate amount of Sh243,808.
