The biggest Winners in the TSC Phase 2 Teachers’ Salary Increase: The recent salary adjustments under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) have resulted in mixed reactions among teachers.
While some have welcomed the increased pay, others, particularly those in five specific pay grades, were left out of the raise.

The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), signed by the TSC, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET), and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), produced varied outcomes across different grades.
The biggest losers in the deal
Teachers in Grades C4 and C5 saw their salaries remain unchanged at SH 52,308 and SH 62,272, respectively. Similarly, those in Grades D4 and D5 did not experience any increase, with their pay stuck at SH 114,242 and SH 131,380.
The biggest winners in the new pay rise
Conversely, teachers in other grades experienced pay increases as follows:
- Grade B5: Previous Salary SH 21,756, New Salary SH 23,830, Net Increase SH 2,074
- Grade C1: Previous Salary SH 27,195, New Salary SH 29,797, Net Increase SH 2,592
- Grade C2: Previous Salary SH 34,995, New Salary SH 38,286, Net Increase SH 3,331
- Grade C3: Previous Salary SH 43,154, New Salary SH 45,671, Net Increase SH 2,517
- Grade D1: Previous Salary SH 77,840, New Salary SH 78,625, Net Increase SH 785
- Grade D2: Previous Salary SH 91,041, New Salary SH 92,496, Net Increase SH 1,455
- Grade D3: Previous Salary SH 104,644, New Salary SH 106,043, Net Increase SH 1,399
Teachers in Cluster 4 of house allowances are also expecting their second phase of harmonization with Cluster 3. There will now be three clusters as opposed to four that are there currently.
Disparities in Salary Adjustments
While some teachers celebrated their pay hikes, those in the static grades expressed dissatisfaction and frustration. This disparity has led to mixed feelings within the teaching community. A notable portion feels neglected by the current phase of the CBA.
This phase will run up to 2025 when the government and unions will negotiate a new CBA.
In summary, although the Collective Bargaining Agreement has brought financial benefits to many teachers, the uneven distribution of salary increases has left many of them feeling discontented and overlooked.
