Teachers get better pay as employer adapts new grading structure

312,060 top teachers will get a higher pay after their salaries were converted to the new grading structure.

According to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the pay rise is in line with a Collective Bargaining Agreement signed in October last year.

The commission says salaries have already been disbursed to different pay points in the country and teachers should be able to access their money on Saturday, July 28, 2017 depending on their depositories.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has reiterated its commitment towards implementing the new salary structure in a two-phase.

156, 000 more teachers are set to benefit from phase 2, effective July 1, 2018 while the last batch in the final phase will be remunerated on July 1, 2020.

The commission appreciates teachers’ patience and understanding during the negotiation and implementation process.
