Primary school teacher I (T-scale 6) is a promotional grade for primary school teachers. Among other requirements, to get promoted to this grade one must have served as Primary Teacher II T-Scale 5 for a minimum period of three (3) years. These tutors earn monthly basic salaries of Sh27,195.

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 Sh8,200) 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.
