Deal: TSC to promote 38,000 Kuppet diploma teachers starting Tuesday

COURT RULING

The move comes after the Labour and Employment Relations Court made a ruling that streamlines how teachers’ promotions will be undertaken.

On Thursday, Kuppet also sought pay increase of between 30 percent and 70 percent for teachers which will mostly benefit non-administrators.

TSC and Kuppet will also retreat to sort out various issues affecting teachers in the country.

“Kuppet proposes an increase in basic salary ranging between 30 percent and 70 percent from the current minimum salary of Sh21,756 to Sh36,985 on the lower cadre. This is informed by the cost of living which has increased since 2016,” reads the proposal by the union.

However, TSC in a statement issued by Mrs Macharia did not comment on the issue of promotion of teachers.

“It was agreed that there shall be a joint retreat between TSC and Kuppet not only to evaluate the progress and gaps in the implementation of the current CBA but to also lay grounds for the next CBA,” said Mrs Macharia.
