Primary and secondary school teachers will soon have their increased salaries and reviewed benefits, if a proposal by the employer sails through.
TSC CEO Nancy Macharia said the economic status has improved, calling for increased salaries.
“The commission would wish to review the 2021-2025 CBA more specifically the salary component to motivate teachers,” Macharia said.
The CEO spoke when TSC appeared before the National Assembly Education Committee on Tuesday.
Macharia requested for the Julius Melly-led committee to support TSC in the review process.
“It was agreed that the CBA would be reviewed midterm pursuant to the improved economic status of the country,” she said.
In July 2021, the unions in the public sector signed a cashless CBA out of the advice by the SRC for non-monetary CBAs due to the effects of Covid-19 on the country’s economy.
According to Knut, teachers received the last salary increment in two phases-2016/2017 and 2017/2018.
The 2021-2025 CBA had the benefits of extended maternity and paternity leave days.
Previously, Knut secretary general Collins Oyuu said there was an agreement to revise the CBA signed after one year.
“We demand a sixty per cent increment because as it stands the recovery from Covid 19 has already been achieved,” he said.
With the 60 per cent salary increase demand, a grade D5 teacher currently earning Sh157, 656 will get Sh252, 249 after a 60 per cent salary increase.
The grade D4 teacher who earns Sh121, 890 will take home Sh195, 024 while those in grade D3 and grade D2 who earn Sh104,644 and Sh91,0401 will be earning Sh167, 430 and Sh145, 665 respectively.
The grade D1 and C5 teachers who earn Sh85,269 and Sh64, 631 will get Sh136, 430 and Sh103, 409 respectively. Grade C4 earning Sh52,308 will get Sh83 692 while grade C3 who earns Sh53, 943 will get Sh86, 308.
The teachers in grades C2 and C1 earning Sh43, 694 and Sh33, 694 are anticipated to get Sh69, 910 and Sh53, 910 respectively while B5 earning Sh27, 195 will get Sh43, 512.
Please my CEO…please do it for the money economically dead teachers
Hot air
Timiza ahadi….walimu wanateseka sana they need as much money like anyother person.
If that Will be effected that Will be a great relief for teachers who have suffered for long!
Teachers are suffering in silence, they are depressed please increase their salary Madam CEO
Kenya is where teachers are not paid we’ll go to another countries and see how teachers are paid.Infact some teachers quit teaching in Kenya to go and teach another countries.
Things are very expensive now you need to pay school fees , shopping and many other home things you end up borrow loans to cater for transport and food surely this is too much for teachers.Teachers survive with loans only.
That will be a great relief! To God be the glory!!! Amen!!!
What happened to deployment to special schools?

What’s this categorisation of teachers in very opaque groups. .

KNUT to con to continue advocating for all P1 teachers who upgraded in in any Diploma or degree in education as earlier suggested i e Dip or degree in SNE,ECDE and Primary option.They should also see the essence of going back to school just like others.
Hot air 🔥
We shall highly appreciate, God will surely bless you
That amount is a lot for the current government to accept. I don’t think it will happen anytime soon.
May promotions of thousands of teachers in D1,2,& 3 be effected.
Schools need deputies.
God of Abraham, hear our cry.
A great relief to the oppressed teachers economically, thanks in advance.
not untill you promote those who went to the university,paid the school based fees painfully,we teachers of kenya cant feel appreciated
Please tsc consider that
We are highly looking forward for your implementations, and we will be very greatful as teachers
I hope SRC will not be the stumbling block again
Iam happy with TSC .good job
Still waiting….
May be done God open all doors for teachers to be given the increment
Anything said by TSC nowadays…..🤔
If at all they said teachers who had applied for transfers to be given and up to now we are just frustrated and depressed!!
I wish I never heard TSC CEO say it in broad daylight🤔ðŸ˜ðŸ˜.
How long are we going to beg to be taken back home?
If all the teachers who were recruited recently were taken to counties of their choice,kwani Mimi nilikosea nani?
What qualifications do those teachers have that I lack?
Let the regional directors please hear our plead and take us where we are comfortable.
Every time I wake up and find myself in Nyandarua county…. I just hate the day I reported!!!!
CEO mwenyewe ni stumbling block. Do you expect her to implement that? Let’s hope for the best as we prepare for the disappointment.
Kindly let the TSC consider what ECDE Diploma and Degree units cover. I am sure they qualify to teach junior secondary. Remember ECDE has two options the primary and community option.
To my view the current salary is enough for for.teachers.i,m teacher we have many benefits, some of us we operate from our homes,we have three compulsory leave in ayear.
Lies! Are we now transferred?we are stressed and don’t think anything good is done in classes by the stressed teachers,they used devide and rule policy transferring others and leave others its really a curse to work in Nandi county!
Please,allow me to remind you that i have not been paid my arrears and full pay of the last CBA. At the end my pay would have reached 77840/=
Lord graciously hear us
Madam CEO can you do as said cos the cost of unga is same for all people of different claßes.No different supernarkrt for teachers.period.
On Salaries I don’t Trust Nancy Macharia and TSC. We have just suffered.
The best reward for teachers ,God may this come to pass.
May God intervene
May God intervene
Remember teachers are struggling.promotion to those who went back to sch to upgrade either degree or diploma.
