Teachers across various cadres are experiencing disparities in the recent salary adjustments implemented by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and teacher unions.

The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA):
The initial phase of salary adjustments, established through a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the TSC and teacher unions, has resulted in mixed outcomes for educators.

For instance, teachers in Grade C4 and C5 continue to earn sh52,308 and sh62,272 respectively, while those in Grade D4 and D5 maintain salaries of sh114,242 and sh131,380 respectively.

Similarly, Grade B5 teachers experience a minimum pay rise of sh2,074, with their salaries ranging from sh21,756 to sh23,830. Moreover, Grade C1 teachers see an increment of sh2,592, bringing their earnings to sh29,797 from sh27,195.
