Confirmed ! Teachers To Receive CBA Salary Increment In July Payroll, TSC Announces

Good News As TSC Confirms That Teachers Will Receive CBA Salary Increment In July Payroll.

Teachers will start to enjoy the benefits of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) 2025 – 2029 signed between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the three teachers unions at the end of this month.

 

 

After signing the CBA with KNUT, KUPPET and KUSNET on 18th July the Commission has embarked on making changes in the July payroll for teachers to enjoy the benefits.

 

“After the long journey of detailed and thorough negotiations, we are delighted to inform our more than 400,000 teachers that we have a CBA deal for the period 2025-2029, which we have signed with the elected representatives of KNUT, KUSNET, and KUPPET today,” said TSC Chairperson Jamleck Muturi in a press statement.

 

 

 

TSC has awarded the lowest teacher in grade B5 with a basic salary increment of sh. 7,313 spread in four years.

 

The teacher who used to earn a minimum of sh. 23,830 basic salary will now get sh. 28,620 per month.

 

Kuppet, Knut and Kusnet have appended their signature into the deal to usher in new salary changes in July payroll.

 

The Commission has however not revised the allowances paid to teachers which unions wanted raised to cushion teacher from effects of inflation.

 

 

The Commission has only increased the rates for payment of Baggage Allowance.

 

All other existing allowances will remain unchanged as TSC plans to review the Career Progression Guidelines (CPG) in June 2026.

 

The Commission has thanked President William Ruto for support announcing a raft of goodies to be unveiled in the 2025/2026 Financial Year. These include;

 

 

a) Recruitment of additional teachers at a cost of Sh2.4 Billion. Already, the Kenya Kwanza Government has recruited a total of 76,000 teachers in a span of just two and half years;

 

b) Promotion of teachers across all cadres at a cost of Sh1 Billion, and;

 

c) Re-tooling of Senior School teachers at a cost of Sh950 Million.

 

Further, as a result of the Government’s investment in the teaching service, TSC and unions on Friday 18th July signed a CBA with all teacher unions whose total cost is Sh33,753,372,108 net for a period of four years.

 

The first phase of the new CBA will be effective from 1st July, 2025 at a cost of 8.4 Billion in salaries and allowances, with more than Sh1.2 Billion being employer’s contribution to the teacher’s Pension Scheme and other statutory deductions.

 

In order to address the concerns raised by teachers through their unions, and after elaborate negotiations, the Commission has awarded a salary increment of up to 29.5% for our various cadres of staff.
