TSC to effect the 6% pay rise for teachers in July 2025

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) plans to introduce a 6% salary increase for teachers in July 2025, as part of the second phase of the 2021–2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). This phase, which started on July 1, 2024, includes salary adjustments and improved allowances for teachers in different job categories.

To support this initiative, the National Treasury has allocated Ksh17 billion to the TSC. Out of this total, Ksh10 billion is earmarked for salary adjustments, Ksh4.7 billion for the teachers’ health insurance program, and the remaining funds for other welfare-related expenses.

The salary increases will differ based on job group. For example, Chief Principals in Grade D5 (T-Scale 15) will have basic salaries ranging from Ksh131,380 to Ksh159,534, while Senior Principals in Grade D4 (T-Scale 14) will earn between Ksh118,242 and Ksh143,581.

Additionally, teachers in rural areas (Cluster 4) will receive higher housing allowances, with some getting as much as Ksh6,934 more per month.

It’s worth mentioning that while the TSC is moving forward with these changes, teacher unions like the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) are pushing for even larger salary increases of up to 60% in the forthcoming 2025–2029 CBA.
