New TSC Salary Scales 2024-2025
This means that the new salaries of the lowest paid teachers will range between a minimum of Sh 23, 830 to a maximum of Sh 29, 787.
The new salary scales for highest paid teacher will range from a minimum of Sh131,389 and a maximum of Sh162,539.
In addition, teachers will also benefit from four allowances: commuter, house, leave and hardship.
The allowances will range from Sh3,850 to a maximum of Sh50,000. Specifically, commuter allowance will range between Sh4,000 to Sh16,000.
Those who will get housing allowance will be paid Sh3,850 and Sh50,000. While leave allowance has been put between Sh4,000 and Sh10,000.
Teachers who will get hardship allowances will be paid between Sh6,600 and Sh38,100.
Teachers Service Commission (TSC) chief executive Dr Nancy Macharia said the salary adjustments will be reflected in teachers’ August payslips, with arrears backdated to July 1, 2024 when implementation was set to begin.
This means that teachers will get more money at the end of this month when the backdated amounts are released.
The boom comes after the teachers received a similar increment last year in the first phase of 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
On Wednesday, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) said it had received the billions to implement the pay increment fully.
“After today’s discussions, the Commission is pleased to announce that the Government has provided funds for the implementation of the 2nd phase of the CBA with effect from July 1, 2024,” Dr Macharia said after meeting unions.
This means that over 370,000 teachers across the country will receive a salary increase as the second phase of the CBA, from August.
