The much awaited July 2020 pay rise has been effected by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).A group of teachers will enjoy the hefty pack of the final phase of the 2017-2020 CBA. However, not all tutors will be smiling all the way to the bank as dreamers put it. Most teachers still have nothing to smile at.
TSC had earlier said that KNUT members will not get pay rise owing to the fact that they fall under the Schemes of Service.
On the other hand, teachers allied to Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) smiled all the way to bank, after TSC honoured the implementation of the last phase of the CBA.
More than 47,000 teachers in job group B5 were promoted to job group C1 using TSC’s Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) even as 32,556 members of KNUT missed out.
The commission was expected to promote more than 100,000 teachers in Job group B5, who were previously P1 teachers, and automatically move them to Job Grade C1.
The promoted grade B5 teachers, who have been earning a basic salary of between Sh21,756 and Sh27,195, have this month taken home between Sh27,195 and Sh33,994.
