Teachers are set to receive enhanced salaries by the end of July after the government allocated Sh8.4 billion to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to facilitate the second phase of salary reviews under the 2025-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
TSC Chairman Dr Jamleck Muturi said teachers should expect the additional earnings to reflect in their bank accounts from July 20 , following the implementation of the revised salary structure.
Dr Muturi said the salary increase marks the beginning of the second phase of the four-year CBA implementation schedule signed in July 2025 between the TSC and teachers’ unions, including the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET).
