Teacher Service Commission (TSC) is responsible for the recruitment, deployment, and management of teachers in public schools.
The current TSC upgrading of teachers led to the scrapping of some job groups and the merging of others. TSC enumerated the pay rise of different tutors according to their job groups for both primary and secondary school tutors.
The salary scale for TSC teachers will be implemented in two phases which start on 1st July 2023. TSC C1 salary scale ranges from Ksh. 28,491 – Ksh. 35,614. It includes secondary teacher III, lecturer III, and primary teacher I.
TSC C4 salary scale spans from Ksh. 52,308 to Ksh. 67,220, covering positions such as senior lecturer IV, senior master IV, SNE senior teacher (primary), SNE teacher I (secondary), and deputy headteacher II.
The majority of secondary education teachers earn a salary between Ksh. 35,614 for a secondary teacher III to Ksh. 127,069 for a principal.
The TSC C3 salary scale varies from Ksh. 44,412 to Ksh. 56,514, encompassing positions like secondary teacher I, lecturer I, SNE teacher I (Primary), SNE teacher II (Secondary), and senior teacher I.
