TSC- Here are the increased teachers’ salaries as from July 2019

The CBA that is to come into force as from July, 2019 will cost the taxpayer Sh13 billion. Primary teacher II, primary teacher I, secondary teacher III, secondary teacher II, secondary teacher II and primary special needs education categories will not benefit during this phase since their salary increment was only captured in phase one (2017/2018) and phase two (2018/2019).
