Salary Adjustments for Deputy Principals II and Senior Masters I
Salary increases for Deputy Principals II and Senior Masters I under Grade D2 (T Scale 12) have been implemented by the Teacher’s Service Commission (TSC).
This amendment, signed in August 2023, is aimed at addressing persistent issues with teacher morale and compensation, aligning with the long-standing advocacy for better pay and working conditions among Kenyan educators.
Acknowledging Teachers’ Contributions
The 2021–2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) was initially hailed as a significant stride toward resolving these issues. Currently, Deputy Principals and Senior Masters in this category receive a basic salary of 92,119 Kenyan Shillings, marking a substantial improvement.
Demonstration of Commitment
The commission’s dedication to enhancing teacher compensation is evident from this substantial raise. In addition to the base wage, teachers below the D2 grade receive various allowances aimed at bolstering their financial security.
Range of Allowances
These allowances encompass yearly leave, hardship, disability guide allowances, and commuter benefits. The hardship payment, valued at 12,000 Kenyan Shillings, acknowledges the challenges educators may encounter, especially in demanding or remote settings.
Supporting Educators’ Financial Stability
A commuter payment of 27,300 Kenyan Shillings is provided to alleviate ongoing transportation expenses. Additionally, an annual leave payout of 10,000 Kenyan Shilling enables educators to take well-deserved breaks and recharge for their vital role.
Ensuring Inclusivity
Furthermore, 20,000 Kenyan Shillings are allocated as a disability guide allowance for teachers in Grade D2, aimed at assisting those facing challenges in their roles due to disabilities.
Commitment to Educator Welfare
The TSC’s commitment to enhancing teacher welfare and ensuring equitable compensation for their invaluable contributions to education is underscored by these salary raises and accompanying benefits.
