Salaries that TSC will pay primary school teachers in Grade B5 (Primary school teacher II): July 2021-2025 teachers’ new salary scales

TSC Primary school teacher II (T-scale 5; formerly job group G) is an entry grade for Primary school teachers. The basic requirements for this grade are: having a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) minimum mean Grade C (Plain) or other recognized equivalent qualifications; and must be in possession of a Primary Teacher Certificate (PTE) or its approved equivalent. These tutors earn monthly basic salaries of Sh21,756.

The basic salaries for these teachers are paid depending on the areas where they work. Teachers who work in Nairobi get a slightly higher house allowance compared to those plying their trade in rural schools. But, all these tutors earn an equal amount of commuter allowance; which is Sh4,000.

To know your exact salary, check your current salary (under the current salary column) and move along the row to the right. what you see under gross pay is what you will earn before deductions.

Those working in hardship areas (get Sh6,600) plus those handling physically challenged students get extra allowances.

Remember, the commission pays a flat rate of Sh4,000 per year as leave allowance. This is paid together with the January salaries.
