The Teachers Service Commission(TSC) has announced that teachers are set to receive a 9.5 percent salary increment.

 This follows a new deal signed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), and the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET).

TSC Secretary Nancy Macharia said 400,000 teachers will benefit from the deal over two years, backdated to July 2023.

“The Commission and the trade unions have therefore, signed an agreement to amend the 2021-20-25 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA),” Macharia said in a statement.

Further, she highlighted that teachers' 9.5 percent pay increase will be payable in two financial years.
