Teachers Expect TSC Payrise Recommendations Now
Teachers Expect TSC Payrise Recommendations Now. This week, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will announce an increase in teachers’ salaries, which will be paid in August and arrears in July.
The teachers’ union has been invited by the Council to participate in the discussion tomorrow at the Kenya Government School in Lower Kabete, Nairobi.
The TSC has issued an invitation to review the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiated with the union for 2021-25, but did not specify compensation adjustments.
The Kenya Union of Primary Teachers (Kuppet) has announced that it will fight for a 70% pay rise.
Kuppet proposed to increase the salary of teachers in the C2 job group from the current Sh34,955 to Sh74,279.
Those earning Sh131,380 a month will see their salary increase by 30 per cent to Sh204,952.
According to Kuppet General Secretary Akello Misori, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) salary range of seven to ten percent will be rejected by the union.
“We will focus on the stalled points of the CBA talks. Misori said that since we have started discussing salaries, we will not be interested in new ideas.
According to the SRC proposal, the lowest paid teachers who currently earn Sh34,955 will receive a maximum of Sh46,752.
For those earning Sh131,380, the maximum monthly payment will be Sh168,691.
According to Missouri, the top priorities are salary increases, job promotions, medical benefits and pension plans.
The rising cost of living, which lowers the disposable income of teachers, pushes the demand for Cuppet by 30 to 70 percent.
According to Missouri, teachers are struggling to meet their basic needs as a result of rising inflation.
According to Missouri, “recent statutory deductions such as housing tax, senior pension plans and NSSF have contributed to lower net incomes and thus affect teacher productivity.”
He said that most teachers stay in the same profession for a long time, despite improving their training.
“Although most of the postgraduate teachers are in the C2 class, most of the postgraduates in the C3 working group have been there for more than five years. “We support the creation of more businesses in C4 to improve skills,” he said.
He accused the employer of failing to implement professional development standards that led to the dismissal of 46,550 teachers in the same professional category.
