Crucial Updates on the July 2024 TSC Phase 2 Salary Increase.
As teachers eagerly anticipate the July 2024 TSC Phase 2 salary increment, it’s crucial to understand that only those teachers employed before July 1, 2023, will benefit from this pay rise. Additionally, changes in house allowances will be seen exclusively in Cluster 4, while allowances for the remaining three clusters will remain unchanged.
According to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) guidelines, phase 2 of this salary increase will commence on July 1, 2024. This increment aims to enhance the earnings of eligible teachers under TSC, helping them cope with rising living costs.
Signals Indicating the Implementation of Phase 2
Kiharu Member of Parliament, Honorable Ndindi Nyoro, recently announced the plan for the phase 2 salary increase following the 2024–2025 budget allocations. This announcement provides a hopeful outlook for teachers, affirming the commitments made in the agreements between TSC and various teachers’ unions.
The 2021–2025 Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) will see a significant portion of the Sh 369.94 billion budget allocated to the Teachers Service Commission under the education budget. An agreement signed on August 28, 2023, established a two-phase implementation plan. The first phase, which took effect from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, is currently active. The second and final phase, highly anticipated by teachers, will run from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025.
What Teachers Can Expect in the Phase 2 Increment
Under the phase 2 increment, TSC teachers will receive varying basic salaries as outlined in the new proposals. House allowance rates will be enhanced based on four clusters:
- Cluster 1: Nairobi City
- Cluster 2: Cities and major towns including Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru, Nyeri, Eldoret, Thika, Kisii, Malindi, and Kitale municipalities
- Cluster 3: Other former municipalities
- Cluster 4: All other areas
It is important to note that house allowance rates for Clusters 1, 2, and 3 will remain unchanged. Only Cluster 4 will see adjustments in house allowances.
