2023 TSC Teacher Allowances Per Job Group
2023 TSC Teacher Allowances Per Job Group.The Teacher Service Commission (TSC) is a board responsible for employment of teachers and tutors in colleges. The commission has the sole mandate of taking care of teacher welfare and facilitating the teachers salaries and allowances.
In 2016, the TSC and teachers’ unions agreed to a CBA, which improved teachers’ base pay and allowances little. The previous Salary and Renumeration Commission greatly enhanced teachers’ housing allowances even though an increase in basic pay favored largely administrators.
