All newly employed and promoted TSC teachers will enjoy higher salary perks and a whole lot of enhanced TSC service packages including a lengthy TSC maternity and paternity leaves if a consensus is arrived at by both the Commission and teachers’ unions which encompass Kuppet, KNUT, Kewota and Kusnet.

Currently, new TSC teachers posted to both primary and secondary schools in Kenya should wet their appetites for a higher basic salary, house allowance, and commuter allowance compared to their predecessors employed before the enactment of the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.

Although there are no prospects of a new CBA in the offing any time soon since the SRC has “unlawfully” freezed pay rise for all teachers and other civil servants for the next two years citing unfavorable economic times ushered in by the biting effects of the Covid-19 pandemic; salaries, allowances and other benefits for newly recruited and deployed/promoted TSC teachers can only get better as from July 2021
