TSC: How to Change your TSC Salary Paypoint, for Teachers, TSC Paypoint Particulars Form

February 21, 2026 News Pro Team Leave a comment

TSC: How to change your Salary pay-point, for TSC-employed Teachers, TSC Paypoint Particulars Form

After emerging the best in a TSC Interview, any newly recruited teacher is expected to fill a TSC Paypoint Particulars Form which is sent to the Commission after endorsement by the teachers’ immediate supervisor- school head.

This explains why a potential TSC employee is expected to bring along his or her bank plate- ATM card during Interviews.

The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) later uses the information given to release the teachers’ salary through the preferred/ selected bank or Sacco.

For a TSC-employed teacher to receive their monthly salary he/she must have a bank/ Sacco account. The Commission gets these details once you fill the TSC Bank Form.

TSC Bank Form/ Paypoint Particulars Form

When a teacher is employed by the Teachers Service Commission for the first time, One of the forms he/she must fill is the The TSC Bank Form.

The Form is then sent alongside other documents to the TSC Headquarters for further action.

Due to the various dynamics surrounding the payment of teachers’ salaries, a teacher may wish to change their pay-point.

These dynamics encompass delayed payment of salaries by some banks, bank charges etc.

HOW TO CHANGE TSC SALARY PAY-POINT FOR TEACHERS

A teacher may change his /her pay-point as often as he/she wants.

For one to do so i.e diverting salaries to new bank / sacco , you must :

1. Download the TSC Bank Form and print.

2. Fill in the pay-point form correctly and have it certified by your Principal/ Head Teacher.

Note: Forms for the principal or head are usually signed by the TSC County or Sub County Director

3. Photocopy your new bank/Sacco account plate (ATM Card) both sides.

This is the new account where you want your salary to be channeled to.

Make sure the copy is clear and must also be certified by your Principal/ Head Teacher.

4. Attach your certified bank plate copy and National ID Copy to the completed TSC Bank Form.

5. Finally, send the documents to TSC Headquarters (enclosed in one envelope and addressed to the Secretary TSC, P.O Private Bag, Nairobi).

Attention:

You should take note; do not close your current account until salary starts to flow in through the new account. This will lead to bouncing back of your pay.

Several teachers who immediately close their old accounts have gone for several months without pay.

What happens if a teacher closes their pay-point, old account, before TSC effects the new Paypoint Particulars?

If the TSC payroll is closed and you have closed your old account and your application for Pay-point change has not been effected, your local bank or Sacco returns the salary back to TSC.

This process is rigorous and iI’nvolves a number of bureaucracies.

First, the floating salaries are reversed back to the Bank/ Sacco head office.

After rigorous scrutiny, the bank/ Sacco then returns the salary to TSC Head Quarters.

This is done via written cheques that take long to be processed.

Its advisable for one to be patient after changing the pay-point in order to avoid the aforementioned heartache.

You should wait for about 3-4 months and if the salary is being sent to your bank account without any hitch, then consider closing the old account.

2023/2024 KCSE Grading System: List of Cluster Subjects

February 21, 2026 News Pro Team Leave a comment

2023/2024 KCSE Grading System: List of Cluster Subjects

KCSE 2023/2024 Knec Grading Cluster Subjects: The release of a new list of cluster subjects to be considered during university placement caught most Kenyans unawares. Speaking in September, the CS Education Ezekiel Machogu announced that the number of mandatory subjects will now be cropped and downscaled from five to two. These encompass

Mathematics
One language (English/ Kiswahili/ Vernacular)

This move was aimed at serving a noble course, increasing the number of university qualifiers from the initial 140,107 (130,485 to public universities and 9,622 private universities).

This move, proposed by the Presidential Working Party for Education Reform, however, hit a snag after receiving a backlash from members of parliament. Following lengthy discussions in parliament, the new KCSE grading system was put off till further notice.

Now all eyes and ears are trained on the release of the KCSE 2023 results to see whether the new KCSE grading system will be implemented this year. Meanwhile, candidates are advised not to relegate the Sciences especially Chemistry since if the ministry reverts back to the former KCSE KNEC grading system, then their weighted cluster points will be determined using the procedure elaborated below:

The Knec Grade system is pegged on certain subjects and education level. Knec utilizes a 12-point grade system with an alphabetical letter ascribed to each value as shown below:

KNEC GRADING SYSTEM ARRANGED IN ASCENDING ORDER

E=1

D-=2

D=3

D+=4

C-=5

C=6

C+=7

B-=8

B=9

B+=10

A-=11

A=12

The most coveted and highly revered grades range from C+ to A.

Knec has also ascribed all the31 subjects specific unique codes as shown below

S/N	Subject Name	Subject Code

Age group – 13 years old to 14 years old at Grade 7 to 8 iv. Senior Secondary School (SSS)- 4 years

Age group – 15 years old to 18 years old at Grade 9 to 12

1. Tertiary / University – 3 years (Minimum of 3 years; depending on program)

The system of education for implementing CBC be re-structured to 2-6-2-4-3 comprising of the following levels and age-groups:
Pre-primary / ECDE – 2 years

6. Age group – 5 years old at Pre-primary 1; 6 years old at Pre-primary 2 ii. Primary school – 6 years

Age group – 7 years old to 12 years old at Grade 1 to 6

Tertiary / University – 3 years (Minimum of 3 years; depending on program)

The Junior Secondary School (JSS) Level of education be domiciled in the existing Primary Schools for the following reasons

1. The learners transiting to Junior Secondary level are too young to transit to the current context of Secondary Schools in Kenya

2. The older students currently in secondary schools, being of a wider age gap with the transiting Grade 6 learners may bully the JSS learners in one way or another

3. Domiciling of JSS in Primary Schools will ensure utilization of the existing structures in primary school

4. The primary school teachers are more aware of, and competent in handling, the needs of these young learners better than their counterparts in the secondary schools who are conditioned to attend to more self-reliant learners

3. Adequate resources and facilities are paramount for the success of CBC. The Ministry of Education should construct sufficient class rooms and provide the required resources for implementation of CBC in both primary and secondary schools

4. Summative evaluation by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) at the end of the base phase of CBC (Primary school level) be retained to determine placement into the various pathways at the next level

5. That the Ministry of Education to initiate a mechanism for systematic pre-service and in- service training for all teachers handing CBC classes. Therefore, CBC content should be initiated in all teacher training institutions. The in-service training programs should be domiciled in all regions to ensure that all schools have CBC trained teachers

6. More teachers to be trained and employed to achieve the 14 international best practices and the UNESCO recommendation of teacher: student ratio of 1:40 to facilitate learning using CBC

7. The recruitment, employment, staffing, placement and remuneration of Pre-Primary / ECDE teachers should be done by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), just like other teachers in primary and secondary schools. This will highly motivate the teachers at this level since their remuneration will be the same depending on their qualifications. TSC will also be able to keep watch, assess and evaluate the service delivery of these teachers

The Junior Secondary School (JSS) Level of education be domiciled in the existing Primary Schools for the following reasons:

8. Internet connectivity to be provided to all institutions in Kenya in order to enhance digital learning, downloading and uploading of learning materials and learning process facilitation. This therefore means that fully equipped computer laboratories should be established in all basic learning institutions; including those in Arid & Semi-Arid (ASAL) areas

9. The Ministry of Education to commission qualified personnel to conduct an end-term evaluation of the 8-4-4 system of education; and present their findings before the 8-4-4 system ends and there is full implementation of CBC. This will prevent the CBC going through similar challenges experienced with 8-4-4 system of education

Recommendations on Governance of the Basic Education Subsector

Effective governance is essential to promote a more cohesive and collaborative culture in all institutions of learning; and can greatly enhance the realization of the goals of education. Given the importance of Education as a tool for socio-economic development, the Education sector requires sound governance at all levels; and all individuals and governing bodies must be aware of, and practice, the principles of good governance.

The following recommendations are hereby made in reference to governance of the Basic Education Subsector

1. The appointment of the members of Boards of Management (BOM) for Basic Education institutions should be based on relevant qualifications by these members to serve the BOM

2. Members of the BOM should undergo mandatory capacity building / training; especially in leadership and governance

3. Members of the BOM should only serve for 2 terms and give way to the appointment of new members to serve
