ECDE teachers to be employed by Counties but be paid by TSC

Early Childhood and Development Education (ECDE) instructors will now be employed by county governments, and the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will be responsible for paying their salary and benefits.

Each nursery school student will also receive Sh1,170 from the government each year if it is included in the final report and approved by the stakeholders.

This comes after a suggestion from the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER), which made several changes to the educational system and later offered them for approval to President William Ruto.

According to the education taskforce, counties will only hire ECDE teachers, but starting in January 2024, TSC will be required to pay them.

The Counties will receive one budget from the National Treasury to hire the teachers, while the TSC would receive another budget to pay their salaries.
