Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has released a list of teachers who have been promoted as 36,505 tutors were moved to higher grades, in line with Career Progression Guidelines (CPG).

Following the interviews that were completed in January 2024, the majority of teachers were those who had stagnated in the same job group for years. According to TSC Secretary Nancy Macharia, the commission has been allocated 1 Billion shillings in the 2024/25 Financial Year to promote teachers. Some 14,750 teachers were also elevated in the 2022/23 Financial Year

“We have been allocated Sh l billion for promotion in the year 2024/25 so the issue of stagnation in the teaching service will hopefully be over soon because we are getting funding from the Government to promote our teachers,” said Macharia.

Previously, TSC was using recurrent expenditure where it would promote teachers to replace those exiting the service.

“This time we are replacing them and also getting extra money, which is good for teachers. TSC is the single largest employer in East and Central Africa and therefore its impact on the education sector and the country at large cannot be understated,” said Macharia.

Teachers were invited by TSC across various cadres to apply for promotions in 2023 including chief principal, senior principal, principals, deputy principal, senior lecturer, senior master, secondary teacher I, head teacher, deputy head teacher, and senior teacher.

Earlier, TSC was urged by President Ruto to promote teachers who had excelled in co-curricular activities last year as well as in academic performance.

According to the TSC advertisement, the position of Senior Master IV for job group C4 had the highest vacancies totalling 12,932 followed by Senior Teacher II for regular primary school at 11,519 in grade C2 then Senior Teacher I at 3,386 and in group C3.

The Commission was also required to promote 1,930 deputy head teachers for regular schools, who are in job group C4, and 1,928 secondary teachers I for regular schools.

Some 1,142 were slated for senior master III for regular schools in job group C5, 1,057 deputy principal III for regular schools in grade D1, 700 senior teacher II for Special Needs Education (SNE) primary school in grade C2, 547 deputy principal II for regular schools and 541 principals for regular schools in grade D3.

Another 34 chief principals in group D5 are also to be promoted, 108 senior principals in D4, 541 principals in grade D3 as well as 619 deputy principal II in D2, and 1,057 deputy principal III in D1.

At least 140 senior Master IV in grade C4 from Special Needs Education (SNE) schools, 43 Senior Master II (SNE) in grade D1, and 22 Senior Master I in D2 are also to be promoted.

Last year, the Government announced teachers as the biggest beneficiaries of salary rise for civil servants, which was to be backdated to July 1.

In August 2023, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) announced a 7–10 percent, which was a relief for teachers who have been pushing for a pay raise for two years. The proposed salary increment for teachers after the Government’s proposal, the highest-paid teacher in grade D5 was to earn at least Sh173,422.

A seven percent increment would see teachers in D5 taking home a basic salary of Sh131,380 rising to a minimum of Sh140,577.

In the event of 10 percent, a teacher whose basic pay was Sh157,657 would get a maximum of Sh173,422. The lowest-paid teacher in grade B5 would see a rise from the current Sh21,756 to a minimum of Sh23,279 if seven percent was affected and from Sh27,195 to a maximum of Sh29,915 if 10 percent is implemented.
