New Agreement to Promote TSC Teachers in C4 and C5 Categories.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has reached a pivotal agreement with the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) to promote 30,000 teachers, specifically targeting those in the C4 and C5 categories who have been in service for over a decade. This move comes after significant pressure from KUPPET, which highlighted the stagnation of over 50,000 teachers across various job groups, especially in the C4 and C5 grades.
In a significant development during an April 2024 meeting in Naivasha, KUPPET petitioned the government to allocate Sh1 billion to the TSC. This funding aims to immediately promote 30,000 teachers who have remained in the same job group for an extended period. KUPPET’s Secretary-General, Akelo Misori, emphasized that the primary beneficiaries would be teachers in the C4 and C5 categories, facilitating their advancement to C5 and D1 respectively. This reclassification will also create more opportunities for educators stuck in Grade C3 to progress.

According to KUPPET, around 7,400 teachers in the C4 category, who have been in their current grade for only three years, missed out on the 2023 and 2024 promotion cycles. This new agreement aims to rectify such oversights, ensuring that long-serving teachers receive the recognition and advancement they deserve.
Teachers eagerly await the implementation of this TSC and KUPPET plan, which promises not only career advancement but also significant salary increments for C4 and C5 educators. The agreement marks a significant step towards resolving the longstanding promotion issues within the teaching sector, offering renewed hope and motivation for educators who have dedicated many years to their profession.
