Primary school teachers are a happy lot this time as their employer, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC announced plans to effect the promotion of over 100, 000 P1 tutors and annual salary increment for all TSC-employed teachers in Kenya.

While announcing the TSC budget for the next financial year 2020/2021, TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia broke the good news. According to Dr. Macharia, Kshs 7 billion has been set aside for the promotion of 100, 000 P1 teachers and annual salary increment for teachers.

The CEO was defending her budget for the year 2020/2021 before the Parliamentary Education Committee (PEC).

2017-2021 CBA PHASE FOUR TO AFFECT TSC ANNUAL SALARY INCREMENT AS FROM JULY 2020

The Commission has already implemented three phased of the 2017-2021 Central Bargaining Agreement, CBA that greatly affects TSC annual increments for all teachers.

This CBA was a means of averting the unending teacher strikes that had adversely affected the education sector in Kenya.

However, not all teacher grades, previously referred to as job groups, benefitted from the 2017-2021 CBA.

For instance, secondary school teachers in Grade C2 formerly referred to as Job Group K who must hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Education or its equivalent from a recognized institution, holders of Diploma in Education in Grade C1 (previously referred to as Job Group H) and Primary School Teachers in Grade B5, formerly referred to as Job Group G got nothing out of the third phase of the 2017-2021 CBA in July 2019.

This means that the aforementioned categories will not get a penny from the fourth and final phase of the implementation of the 2017-2021 CBA in July 2020.

In this article, we shall take you through the TSC annual salary increment for the three categories of principals.

To start with, principals in Kenyan schools are not equal. There are some who are more equal than others if I may quote George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Those with higher qualifications and more experience in the teaching sector have got an opportunity to rise the ranks. They earn themselves the following honorable titles such as senior principal and chief principal.

These titles do not just come empty-handed. They are laced with handsome salary increments and allowances.

Besides the normal salary increments that come with TSC promotions from one grade to the next, the Commission awards annual salary increments (pay rise) to all TSC-employed teachers including principals(administrators) as follows:
