TSC Salaries 2020

TSC Teachers CBA: The Teachers Service Commission, TSC appears to have won a bitter battle against teachers that had drawn the much-needed attention of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC.

The much anticipated July 2020 pay rise has been effected by the Teachers Service Commission. However, not all tutors will be smiling all the way to the bank as dreamers put it. Most teachers still have nothing to smile about. Unlike KUPPET, KNUT has never held any fruitful meeting with the teachers’ employer. Most of the engagements have culminated in court battles that leave the union dented.

This is a promotional grade for tutors in primary schools.  Besides other minimum selection criteria, teachers who would like to be upgraded to this Grade must have served as Primary Teacher II T-Scale 5 for at least three years.

The Teachers Service Commission has vowed to clean its payroll starting in July 2020. This move has attracted uproar from a section of teachers who feel that the TSC is being unfair given that they did not promote themselves.

The announcement by the teachers’ employer, TSC about the much anticipated July 2020 pay rise, however does not offer any hope for these tutors since their CBA was implemented in the first two phases only.

The conditions for reinstatement of the 3, 500 affected teachers into the TSC payroll include: A formal letter through the teacher’s immediate supervisor that is the principal or headteacher to explain why they did not adhere to the instructions given about declaring their wealth online.
