New TSC 2024-2025 Salary Increment (Pay Rise): TSC Reviews Teacher Salaries Amid Protests from KUPPET
- Advertisement -
TSC Salaries 2024-2025 for all Teachers: The issue of teachers’ salaries in Kenya has proved to be a thorn in the flesh for decades. In a bid to stem disruption of curriculum implementation and the 2024 school calendar, the Teachers’ employer in Kenya dubbed Teachers Service Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding with teachers’ unions, KUPPET and KNUT which would span five years for the 2021-2025 cycle. Unfortunately, the teachers’ employer would later turn its back on the teachers and disregard the very MOU it signed.
Incensed by the turn of events, teachers currently serving in post primary institutions downed their tools and took to the streets for eight working days, protesting the impunity and oppression emanating from their employer. The situation got out of hand since learning was paralyzed in over 80% of the learning institutions. Finally, the Teachers Service Commission had to concede defeat and increase teachers’ salaries as follows: CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE 2024-2025 CBA CIRCULAR ON NEW TEACHERS’ SALARIES
