1. INTRODUCTION:

    On 13th July, 2021, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) signed Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers

    (KUPPET) and Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) setting out the terms and conditions of service for teachers for the period 2021 – 2025.  Following the advise on the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the Commission and the teachers’ Unions reviewed the CBAs and signed an Addendum on 28th August, 2023.  It was agreed that the reviewed CBA be implemented in two (2) phases effective July 2023.

    The second phase of the reviewed CBA has been implemented with effect from 1st July, 2024. 

    2. APPLICATION

      This Circular shall apply to all teachers in service as at 1st July, 2024 except Intern teachers. 

      3. IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD

      This circular is effective from 1st July, 2024 to 30th June, 2025.

      4. INCREMENTAL DATES

      Teachers converting into the new salary scales will retain their current incremental dates. However, where the incremental date falls on 1st July, 2024 teachers will be granted their annual increment on the existing salary scales then convert to the new salary points with effect from the same date.

      5. ANNUAL SALARY INCREMENT

      Annual salary increment for all teachers will continue to apply as provided for in the Code of Regulations for Teachers (2015).

      SPECIFIC AREAS COVERED BY THE CBA

      a) GRADING AND SALARY STRUCTURE

        The current job titles will continue to apply as set out in Table 1. The salary conversion tables for the review are as set out in tables 2-12 attached to this circular. 

        b) ALLOWANCES

        The house allowance rates clusters have been reviewed from 4 to 3. Cluster 4 rates have been phased out and the teachers previously earning house allowance rates in this cluster will adopt house allowance rates for cluster 3.

        Cluster 1: Nairobi City

        Cluster 2: Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru Cities, Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi and Kitale municipalities.
