TSC Reviews Teachers’ Salary Increment 2024. The Teachers Service Commission, or TSC, will review the budget for raising teacher salaries.
The organization overseeing the welfare of all teachers is the Teachers Service Commission. The commission hires, promotes, fires, and even transfers instructors.
It also bargains for raises in teachers’ pay. A 56 billion shilling budget from the Teachers Service Commission has been suggested by the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET).
The union is begging with MPs to adopt the expenditure plan before the budget is read, so that the TSC may carry out its proposals over teacher pay.
Teachers would be eligible for pay increases in line with the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) if the budget is approved.
The budget was suggested by the TSC to provide space. KUSNET secretary general James Torome says it’s time for Kenyan MPs to approve the Sh56 billion that the TSC recommended spending to enhance the agreement’s implementation.
He emphasized how important it is for Members of Parliament to have an official debate on the budget rather than having unofficial conversations about its approval in public or in other settings, which are making matters worse.

Along with KUSNET Vice Chairman Daniel Yator and National Trustee Jackson Odindo, Torome requested that the government refrain from privatizing educational institutions.
He emphasized that as a result of privatization, the cost of education will increase for many Kenyans.
KUSNET has asked financial authorization in light of the poor compensation and unfavorable working conditions experienced by Kenyan teachers.
Approval of the proposed budget would be a major step toward the union’s goal of improving the welfare of teachers.
The TSC will be able to meet the increasing demand for teacher compensation with the aid of the projected expenditure plan, which will improve staff morale and productivity.
KUSNET asks lawmakers to approve the budget as soon as possible so that it can be implemented prior to the next budget being read in April.
