Status of TSC Hardship allowance and Hardship areas

TSC News Today- The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) pays a monthly hardship allowance to a section of teachers. This is an allowance that is paid to teachers deployed in designated hardship areas. The allowance is meant to compensate teachers working in the Hardship Areas to compensate them for lack of basic social services and amenities, security risk, harsh climatic conditions, isolation and family separation.

Some teachers are set to lose the hardship allowance because the designated hardship areas shall be reviewed, by the relevant government institution/s to reflect changes in designated hardship areas arising from benefits of devolution and Equalization Fund. This is because devolution has implied that Counties are no longer necessarily hardship areas since they are receiving equalization funds to promote development in the counties thereby addressing the characteristics of hardship areas.

Current Hardship allowance rates

In December, 2014, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, reviewed hardship allowance to be paid at a flat rate for all equivalent grades/ job groups. The Commission effectively abolished the pegging of the hardship allowance as a percentage of basic pay.

The table below summarizes the monthly hardship allowance rates that are paid to teachers working in hardship areas; per job group:

TSC proposals on teachers’ new salary and allowances increments

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has presented new salary increments to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC. The salaries increment are to be approved so as to be included in the next next Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA; cycle. In the proposals, the Commission wants a basic salary increment of between 16 percent and 32 percent; with classroom teachers getting the higher perks.

The 16 percent rise in basic pay should be for teachers in administrative grades (C4 to D5) who reaped big from the 2016-2021 CBA. Classroom teachers in lower grades (B5 to C3) are to be awarded an increment of 30 percent.

But, the teachers’ unions ,Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), are vehemently opposed to the proposals terming them a drop in the ocean. The unions claim there were no talks between them and TSC to come up with the new salary scales; as should be the case during the CBA negotiations.

KNUT is proposing a basic pay rise of between 120 and 200 percent, while KUPPET wants 30 to 70 percent increment.

For allowances, TSC is proposing a 20 percent increment in commuter and leave allowances. On its part, house allowance is to be increased by 10 percent. These proposals are by far much lower than what the unions are proposing.

DEMANDS BY KUPPET.

KUPPET is rooting for the expansion of teachers’ allowances so as to include post graduate and township allowances (meant for teachers staying in towns). The union also wants the Commission to harmonize house allowances for all teachers. Currently, tutors plying their trade in towns and former municipalities earn higher house allowances as opposed to their counterparts in rural areas. Harmonization of house allowances should be based on job group as opposed to regions.

Another allowance being fronted by KUPPET is special school allowance to be paid at a rate of Sh15,000 per month.

They also want the readers’ facilitation allowance to be reviewed by 30 percent so as the teachers will get Sh.19,500 per month. This allowance is paid to a visually impaired teacher who has engaged a reader whose minimum qualification is not below KCSE D+/KCE Division III. The allowance is paid at a fixed rate determined from time to time by the commission.

Also called facilitation or aid allowance, reader’s allowance is currently paid at a rate of Sh15,000 per month to the blind teachers and those confined to wheel chairs by virtue of their disability.

The current CBA cycle has expired, paving the way for implementation of the new one with effect from July 2021.

Still on allowances, KUPPET demands that leave allowance be paid based on one’s basic pay i.e. an equivalent of one month’s basic pay for all cadres.

KUPPET says the Commission has no scheme of service for teachers who have attained a Masters and Doctorate degrees. Instead, the employer awards three increments to the holders of such qualifications. The proposed scheme seeks to allow TSC recruit teachers possessing post-graduate qualifications at entry level.

The Union is demanding that the Post graduate scheme of service be developed and be eligible to all teachers holding a Master’s and Doctorate degree. The said teachers shall be paid an allowance equivalent to 40% of the basic salary. Finer details show that the union is seeking to have a holders of Masters Degree getting an increment of 20 percent that is pegged on their basic salaries and 40 percent for PHD degree holders.

KNUT DEMANDS ON ALLOWANCES.

The Sossion led outfit is agitating for a 50 percent increment in both house and Commuter allowances. Just like KUPPET, KNUT also wants an upward adjustment on leave allowance equivalent to a teacher’s basic pay for one month.

For hardship allowance, KNUT wants the Commission to award a rise of 50 percent of basic salary.

The medical scheme currently being offered by Minet will still be in place.

TSC OFFER ON ALLOWANCES

The Commission is willing to offer an increase of 20 percent for both commuter and leave allowances. It is also keen to retain the current clusters used to determine the teachers’ house allowances but review it upwards by 10 percent.

Also to be retained is hardship allowance at the current rates.

Proposals by KUPPET to have the TSC introduce new allowances have fell on deaf ears. The Commission has declined the introduction of special school, township and post graduate allowances.

TSC announces massive teacher transfers

As teachers proceed to the April holiday most of them will be waiting with bathed breaths as their employer is expected to roll out massive transfers. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced that there shall be a major shake up administration of public schools; mostly mixed ones.

A new policy adopted by the Commission is seeking to reorganize placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender.

“In its efforts to promote gender mainstreaming and equity, TSC is reorganizing placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender. This is among a raft of measures taken by the Commission to conform to the requirements of the Constitution on inclusiveness, equity, equality, non- discrimination and affirmative action.” Says the Commission.

This comes a week after the International Women’s Day when Dr Nancy Macharia said that the Commission has put measures in place to ensure that it conforms with the constitution on the inclusion of both genders in leadership positions. This move is expected to foster a gender inclusive learning environment in public schools.

Already, TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia has directed all the TSC Regional Directors to implement the policy that is aimed at fostering inclusivity in public schools. She directs regional directors are to liaise with the county directors who are to identify mixed schools that have heads and deputies of same gender and subsequently place the deputies appropriately after the national examinations.

“Identification and deployment of institutional administrators is premised on career progression guidelines and the policy on appointment and deployment of institutional administrators (2017). The process is underpinned on values and principles of governance which include but not limited to: equity, equality, inclusiveness, non-discrimination and affirmative action,” Macharia says in a circular addressed to all Regional TSC Directors.

Mixed schools with Principals who both are of the same gender will see one of them getting the marching orders. Macharia wants the list of the heads and deputies sent to her before April 30 once the placement is completed. This will lead to massive transfers of the affected administrators; mostly deputies.

Implementation of this new policy follows the commission’s research findings that showed a majority of the mixed schools in the country having heads and deputies of the same gender.

Macharia says a scenario where both heads and deputies are of the same gender leads to unprecedented gender imbalances in the learning institutions.

“The scenario neither fosters gender-inclusive learning environment nor provides a supportive atmosphere for all learners…Accordingly, to ensure a supportive learning environment for learners of both gender the commission’s policy is to appoint and deploy administrators of applicable gender to head and deputise learning institutions,” notes Dr.Macharia.

This policy will supplement the contentious delocalization exercise that has seen thousands of heads and their deputies moved away from home counties.

Shocker for KNUT members as TSC slashes July, 2019, salaries

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has isolated teachers aligned to the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, from salary increments as per the current Collective BArgaining Agreement. The payroll for teachers who are not KNUT members has factored in implementation of Phase Three of the 2017-2021 CBA. The payroll for KNUT members has not factored in Phase Three of the CBA because the Court ordered that their terms be based on the Schemes of Service and not CPG. This will apply to 103,624 teachers who also include Head teachers, Deputy Head teachers and senior teachers. Inevitably, this will also lead to KNUT members losing all the benefits embedded in the Career Progression Guidelines, CPG, as an implementation tool for the CBA. This follows the recent court ruling in which KNUT won over the Commission.

Here is the communique from Kihumba Kamotho, head of Communications at TSC;

‘THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE JUDGEMENT OF JUSTICE BYRAM ONGAYA DATED 12/7/2019 ON TEACHER PROMOTION, CAREER PROGRESSION, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND APPRAISAL

On 31st December, 2018, the Teachers Service Commission filed a Petition at the Employment and Labour Relations Court at Nairobi, after the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) issued a strike notice to take effect from 2nd January, 2019. In calling the strike, KNUT was opposing current promotion model, Career Progression Guidelines, Teacher Professional Development Programmes and Teacher appraisal system.

On 12th July, 2019, the Court issued its judgement touching on the above outlined issues. After studying the implication of the ruling on various aspects of teacher management and the ongoing implementation of the 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreements, the Commission immediately applied to the court to stay its orders to allow for appeal. The stay was not granted.

On 30th July 2019, the Teachers Service Commission ran the July payroll for all the teachers in its employment. However, owing to the Court ruling of 12th July 2019 on the issues outlined above, several challenges have been experienced particularly in the preparation of the teachers’ payroll and implementation of the Kshs 54 Billion 2017- 2021
CBA.
Arising from the Judgment, KNUT has maintained that all its members should be promoted in accordance with the Schemes of Service (SoS) which were last revised in 2007. It is important to note that the Commission discontinued SoS and adopted Career Progression
Guidelines (CPGs) in 2017 to enable implementation of the Job Evaluation and the 2017-2021 CBA signed between TSC and Unions in 2016.

In view of the Court ruling and the position taken by the KNUT, the Commission wishes to explain the following:
1). Benefits of Career Progression Guidelines in teacher promotion;
The Career Progression Guidelines were developed in 2017 after a Job Evaluation in the teaching service was carried out and CBAs signed in October 2016. The Guidelines are considered superior because they enabled the implementation of the Job Evaluation and the Collective Bargaining Agreement that were signed in 2016. The Guidelines outline the descriptions, specifications, and competencies for each job.
Prior to the implementation of CPGs, the Commission was promoting teachers using three Schemes of Service. Crucially, application of schemes of service did not, and cannot, guarantee automatic promotion since it is subject to availability of vacancies, among other factors.
The second key benefit is that all the serving 300,000 teachers were promoted with effect from 1st July 2017 when the implementation of the CBA commenced. Moreover, under the Career Progression Guidelines teacher promotion can be accelerated without the requisite three years’ service in a grade which was the case in the Schemes of Service.
Third, under the CPG the salary grades have been expanded such that a teacher will enjoy more annual incremental credits within a Grade.
In view of the foregoing it has become impossible to implement the CBA without the Career Progression Guidelines.

2). Impact of the Court Ruling on Teacher Promotion;
The immediate consequence of the Court ruling with regard to teacher promotion is that some major promotional benefits that had been achieved through the CPG have been lost. Specifically, under the CPG, 96,000 teachers formerly designated as P1 and who were promoted to B5 with effect from 1st July 2017 will not be promoted under common cadre to C1 on 1st July 2020. This is because promotion of teachers who are members of the KNUT shall strictly be as per the provisions of the Schemes of Service.

3. Implications of the Judgment on the Payroll;
The judgement of the ELRC, has necessitated preparation of two parallel payrolls in order to comply with the Court ruling without disadvantaging teachers who are not KNUT members. In this regard, the payroll for teachers who are not KNUT members has factored in implementation of Phase Three of the 2017-2021 CBA. Their payslips will, therefore, reflect the enhanced pay in line with their grades.
The payroll for KNUT members has not factored in Phase Three of the CBA because the Court ordered that their terms be based on the Schemes of Service and not CPG. This will apply to 103,624 teachers who also include Head teachers, Deputy Head teachers and senior teachers. Inevitably, this will also lead to KNUT members losing all the benefits embedded in the CPG as an implementation tool for the CBA. In addition, reversal of grades and full recovery of the previously enhanced salaries and allowances since 1st July 2017 shall be effected.

4. Conclusion
In conclusion, the Commission wishes to inform all teachers and other stakeholders that it is committed to continuous improvement of terms and conditions of service for all teachers in the public service. This was the essence of the Job Evaluation and the 2017-2021 CBAs.’

TSC teacher promotions- Latest news today

Promotions of Teachers Serving under the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been a thorny issue over the years. The Commission in 2018 introduced a new policy on teacher promotions referred to as the ‘ Career Progression Guidelines (CPG)’.

Under the new arrangement by TSC, NO teacher will be promoted based on academic qualifications.

Cries of teachers who stay in the same job groups (grades) have always fallen on deaf ears. Teachers stay in the same grades for longer periods of time with being promoted.

While debating on a petition by 16 teachers in Kajiado County (who complained about being locked out of promotion by the commission) on Wednesday, 17th February, 2021, Senators hit hard on TSC for failing to promote teachers.

The Senators raised pertinent issues concerning the state of recruitment and promotion of teachers in the Country.

Here is a summary of the Senators’ reactions on the Teacher Promotions’ Debate;

“Senator Mwaruma

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to weigh in and support the Petition by the teachers of Kajiado County.

The issues raised by the petitioners are not unique to Kajiado County; they run in most parts of the country. There are teachers who seek promotions, yet their students are not doing well.

This is because one of the parameters that is used to promote teachers is that the students that they teach must be doing well. However, the question is: Who determines the performance of students? Is it the teacher per se?

There are many factors that affect the performance of students, including environment and poverty levels, where students do not have food at home.

Therefore, to grade teachers depending on the performance of their students is unfair.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, at one time, I raised a Petition to the same effect and requested the TSC to produce the names of how the teachers have been distributed in terms of promotion across the country.

However, the response that we got, at that time – in 2017 -when the Chair of the Committee on Education was Sen. (Dr.) Langat is, the TSC agreed that they were skewed towards a particular region. However, they requested for time so that in future, they can balance promotions across the country.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that the Committee on Education chaired by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo looks into these issues, so that we ensure that our teachers across the country are fairly promoted and rated depending on the performance as per the students’ targets.

This is because the targets for teachers in group of schools should be different from that of students in day schools, county schools et cetera. We also need to look at the number of years that a teacher has worked. Some teachers work for 20 years in the same job group.

Therefore, I look forward to how this Petition will be adjudicated and prosecuted, so that the teachers of Kajiado, Taita-Taveta and across the country get fair promotions.

This is because if they are not promoted, they will not perform well.

Senator (Dr.) Langat:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution concerning this important Petition from Kajiado County.

This is not unique to Kajiado. Issues of promotion and matters of recruitment have become a big problem in the country. I remember that there were a lot of complaints in Bomet County. This is because teachers who graduated as late as 2013 got promoted, yet those who graduated many years ago, for example, 12 or 13 years, have not been promoted despite the fact that their performance is good in class.

This has demoralized teachers in most places. This is because unfair promotions lead to demoralization of teachers who are performers.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the worst part is when it comes to recruitment. Policies on recruitment should be revised. This is because there are many complaints everywhere.

When I was the Chairperson for the Committee on Education, we used to receive the same complaints. We forwarded our recommendations and resolutions to TSC, but up to date, it has not acted on them.

Last week, I visited a school in Bomet where in the staff room, there is a local P1 teacher who graduated in 2009 and others who have been recruited from other counties and brought to Bomet, and graduated in 2015.

Those who graduated a long time ago and have not been recruited are so demoralized and are questioning the processes that the TSC uses when it comes to promotion and recruitment.

Therefore, I urge the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, whom I am sure will act with a lot of diligence, to make sure that these particular irregularities, which are demoralizing teachers, are brought to book and streamlined.

Senator (Dr.) Musuruve:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition from Kajiado. Issues of promotions are not only for one section; they cut across the country.

We need to find out whether the TSC has allocated money for purposes of promotion.

Also, as we push for teachers to be promoted, we should be careful not to bend standards. This is because there are many variables that come into play when it comes to promotion, for example, how many years a teacher has served, whether there is money available and many other factors.

I know that this Petition will come to the Committee on Education where I sit. We will have to look at it with an open eye, so that it will help with the issue of promotion of teachers across the country and not only in Kajiado County.

We should have a situation where we give promotions to teachers on the basis that they come from marginalized areas et cetera. Let all teachers be compensated, so that they are happy about the service that they have given this country.

Senator (Dr.) Zani:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support this Petition. For most teachers all over the country, the issue of promotion is key. This is because it determines many things, for example, salaries, personal achievements, et cetera.

This is a question that has been asked severally in this House. It is not the first time that it is coming up. The TSC has also tried to answer this. However, there seems to be a disconnect between what happens in the counties, teachers and the TSC.

The TSC will say that they promote from the criteria of the person and whether they qualify or not. However, people in institutions know who qualifies and who does not.

For example, they know whether a person has attained a particular degree, and so, they qualify. Therefore, there seems to be lack of transparency in this area. This is what causes this question to come over and over again.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we project that it will worsen due to the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), where the current Standard Six and Grade Four pupils will have a double intake as they go to Form One. This is from the media.

I know that we do not quote it, although it is a form of news. It has predicted that about 60,000 teachers will need to be added by 2023. This means that the issues of recruitment, criteria for promotion and fairness need to come out clearly.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suggest that as the Committee progresses with this Petition to find out where the gaps are. Whether it is a perception or reality, the data will show for itself where promotions seem to be skewed.

Sometimes, it is not only skewed within a county, but also across various counties. Certain counties feel that their criteria for promotion and recruitment is limited compared to another county. This is a big issue that the Committee needs to raise.

I stress that let there be a transparent system. This Committee can come up with a way to make it transparent, so that people know how teachers have been promoted, recruited and the levels they are at. This is so that there is no perception. That will help.

There should be some mechanism to make this clear.

Senator (Rev.) Waqo:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this very important Petition regarding the promotion of teachers in Kajiado County. As many of my colleagues have already said, this is a matter that affects all the counties.

We are aware that teachers are very important people in our society. We are the way we are because of the teachers who molded our lives when we were young.

Most of the time, people experience unfair practices in promotions, recruitment and postings. Of course, we know that many people in the entire nation complain about these issues.

Nonetheless, at this particular time when we are talking about teachers and the teaching profession, we know that many teachers have been demoralized because their qualifications and experience have never been put into consideration.

We have many jobless graduates who are out there. To be employed or considered by the TSC has become a real problem.

It is my prayer that the Committee on Education, led by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, will take into consideration this matter and give it the attention that it deserves. They should not only concentrate on Kajiado County, but the entire nation so that we can help
teachers.

If we do that, we will ensure they are not demoralized. Going by past experience, most of them are demoralized and negatively affected. However, if we help teachers, we will help our children who will receive that positive mind and input from them.

I support the Petition and pray that the teachers get the attention they deserve.

Senator Wambua:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also want to thank the petitioners for having faith in the institution of the Senate to deal with this very important matter on the promotion of teachers in Kajiado County.

However, as my colleagues have said, this is a matter that affects virtually every county in this country.

As Senator (Dr.) Zani has mentioned, this matter has come up on the Floor of this Senate many times. It is now time that the Committee on Education finds a way of getting a solution to this issue in collaboration with the TSC, so that we have a clear
progression path for teachers.

What happens in the absence of this is that it breeds disaffection among the teachers. These days we are dealing with many of cases of teachers engaging in side activities to earn a living because the career progression path is not clear.

They do not even know whether they will grow into anything.

Promotion in employment is a very serious issue because it helps employees plan their lives and future. Promotion should be based on a clear criterion, which rewards both time and performance. There are teachers who have been in the classroom for the longest time, perform well and never get promoted.

There are others who get in today, and in a few years, are at the top of the pyramid. It is important that this matter is dealt with.

As I conclude, in my County of Kitui, last year but one, this matter was raised and we brought it on the Floor of this Senate. About 100 vacancies for the positions of deputy head teachers arose in Kitui, but almost all those vacancies were occupied by teachers from outside the county.

What that means is that in future when positions for head teachers arise in that county, they will be filled by teachers from outside the county, and all those teachers from within the county, who are qualified to occupy those positions, will be disgruntled.

I hope that the Committee on Education will deal with this matter precisely and decisively to avert a crisis in the education sector.
I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.”

TSC set to promote Principals, Deputy Principals, Head Teachers and Deputy Head Teachers not enjoying new salaries after the CBA implementation

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is set to promote school administrators who are currently not enjoying the responsibility allowances effected in the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA. This will put a smile on the faces of hundreds of these administrators who have not benefited from the increased perks as implemented in the current CBA. Via an internal memo by Acting Director (Staffing) Rita Wahome and dated 13th September, 2019, the commission has instructed select regional directors to submit data on the effected teachers from their regions so as appropriate affirmative action can be taken.

Masters Requirement

The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET, has already written to TSC to protest a requirement that one must have a Masters degree to be promoted to be an  administrator. According to the Union such a requirement should only be an added advantage and not a mandatory selection criterion. KUPPET is at the same time agitating for the appointment of administrators currently serving on acting capacity.

A move by the Commission not to advertise vacancies for other administrative posts like Senior Teacher (for Primary Schools)  and Master (Secondary schools) has not been received well by teachers. TSC is yet to advertise the posts three years after it created them under the Career Progression Guidelines. Most schools have teachers in acting capacities but who are not recognized by the Commission and thus do not get responsibility perks as heads and their deputies do. Currently, the Commission has only advertised a handful vacancies for Principals, Deputy Principals, Head Teachers and Deputy Heads.

List of transferred, delocalized Head Teachers in Embu County; December 2019

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has effected the December 2019 delocalization exercise for school heads. A total of twenty six (26) head teachers have been moved in Embu County. The handing/ taking over exercise for the administrators is expected to be completed before schools open for first term on January 6, 2020.

Those moved are heads and principals and their deputies serving in their home counties and those who have served in the same station for a long period. Also on the move are new administrators who were appointed after the just concluded interviews .

Teachers with medical conditions have been spared from the ongoing delocalization exercise. Also spared are teachers aged above 56 years and those set to retire.

For all the latest TSC news and delocalization lists, visit;

The Commission kicked off the delocalization exercise in January, 2018. Other massive deployments would then follow in April, August and December of the same year. Though in April, 2019 the Commission slowed down the transfers as only a handful administrators were moved.

How to use the new TPAD sysytem by TSC; Logging in, creating an account and entering appraisal data- https://tpad2.tsc.go.ke

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has created a new user friendly portal for capturing the teachers’ appraisal data. The Commission has at the same time reduced the number of teaching standards to be appraised for teachers from the previous seven to five on its online appraisal portal.

To enhance implementation, the Commission has customized the TPAD tools targeting teachers serving in primary, secondary, special needs institutions and post secondary institutions, where, while the teaching standards are the same for all categories of teachers, performance indicators and verifiable evidence have been customized for various institutions.
