C4 & C5 TSC Teachers Gain More . C4 & C5 TSC Teachers Gain More from Recent Negotiations.
Introduction
Teachers in the C4 and C5 job cadres are poised to gain more following a recent meeting between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET). This meeting focused on their promotions and salary increments.
 Discussion on Teacher Promotions
The TSC and KUPPET convened to address the promotion of 30,000 teachers. Many C4 and C5 educators have remained in the same job group for over ten years without any promotion. This stagnation has been a significant concern.
 Addressing Promotion Stagnation
KUPPET raised serious concerns about the lack of promotions for over 50,000 teachers, especially those in the C5 and C4 categories. These teachers have been stuck in the same job groups for years, hindering their career growth.
Petition for Promotion Funds
During a meeting in Naivasha, KUPPET announced a petition to the government. They are seeking Sh1 billion for TSC to promote 30,000 of the 50,000 teachers who have been stagnant in their job groups.
Focus on C4 and C5 Instructors
KUPPET Secretary-General Akelo Misori emphasized that C4 and C5 instructors would be the primary beneficiaries of this negotiation. Misori highlighted that many teachers will be promoted to C5 and D1, providing room for long-serving educators currently in Grade C3 to advance as well.
Promotion Prospects
Despite having been in their current grade for only three years, more than 7,400 C4 teachers have not received promotions. KUPPET is pushing for these teachers to gain the recognition they deserve.
Publication of Successful Promotions
The TSC has published a list of teachers who succeeded in the 2023 and 2024 promotions. This list provides transparency and hope for those awaiting their promotions.
 Anticipating Career Advancement
Teachers affected by these plans are now eagerly awaiting the implementation of the TSC and union’s agreement. Successful implementation will help them advance in their careers and increase their salaries.
Receiving Appointment Letters
Teachers who received promotions are currently receiving their appointment letters. They are reporting to various institutions where their services are needed, as guided by their employer.
In conclusion, C4 and C5 TSC teachers are on the brink of significant career advancements and salary increases, thanks to the efforts of KUPPET and the TSC. These promotions will not only benefit the teachers but also enhance the quality of education they provide.
