Proposed TSC Bill Teachers’ Allowances to be Improved in New TSC Bill
If a new Proposed TSC Bill is approved, teachers will benefit from improved allowances.
Kenyan teachers will benefit from a more structured and transparent permit system under this new legislation now before parliament.
Mandera South MP Abdul Haro is the sponsor of the Teachers Service Commission (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which aims to change the TSC Act of 2012 to provide well-defined parameters for teacher allowances.
The majority of Section 32A of the plan outlines making the often informal procedure of hiring teachers for acting positions more official.
Additionally, the Bill introduces a new “Schedule Four,” which categorizes nine various types of allowances. These grants cover acting allowances, reader’s facilitation, responsibility, special school, transfers, leave, hardship, commuting, and housing.
Only the responsibility allowance will be pensionable, which is significant.
If one receives it until retirement, the others will be eligible for a pension.
The measure also suggests modifying Section 11 of the TSC Act to require the Commission consult the Salaries and Remuneration Commission before disbursing any allowances.
According to Hon. Haro, the purpose of these changes is to enhance fairness, legal clarity, and accountability in the distribution of benefits to teachers.
He emphasized that a legal foundation would guarantee that these advantages are disbursed consistently and not determined at random.
Given the extensive demands for thorough assessments of pay and benefits from teacher unions like KNUT and KUPPET, it was appropriate for the legislation to be introduced at this time.
These unions are calling for a rise in basic pay, a hazard allowance for science instructors, and compensation for labor performed on public holidays.
KNUT has also asked that teachers in difficult and under-resourced regions be given additional credits and that acting instructors, who are usually deputy heads, be compensated even if they are not formally appointed.
It has been asked that the public participate in this measure, and that they submit it to the Departmental Committee on Education no later than May 9, 2025.
The legislation would, in theory, simplify payments, promote transparency, and boost teachers’ morale if it were approved.

Consider P1 teachers as the first choice in upcoming recruitment, KNUT urges TSC
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kipkelion branch, is requesting that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) prioritize Primary Teacher 1 teachers in the imminent recruitment process.
Branch Secretary David Bore voiced his worry that numerous qualified P1 teachers have been overlooked for years, regardless of their commitment and service to the education sector.
While speaking in Kipkelion, Bore appealed to TSC to take into account these teachers who, he pointed out, have been unemployed or underemployed for an extended period.
“P1 teachers serve as the foundation of primary education, particularly in lower classes. It is unjust to exclude them while hiring diploma holders for identical roles. TSC must rectify this discrepancy,” he stated.
He stressed that equitable recruitment practices would enhance morale and tackle teacher shortages in local schools. He expressed concerns regarding the rising trend of politicians providing appointment letters to newly recruited teachers, asserting that it undermines TSC’s autonomy.
“The matter of employment is raising significant concern within KNUT. The TSC is an independent commission as established by law. It holds the responsibility to recruit teachers for the teaching service. It is troubling that the TSC has relinquished this duty,” lamented Bore.
Bore reiterated that the TSC’s primary responsibility is the employment and assignment of teachers, and political interference jeopardizes transparency and merit-based selection.
The union additionally urged for a clear, professional recruitment process that adheres to the law and guarantees fairness for all qualified teachers, cautioning that any type of irregularity will be rejected.
KNEC has automated the management of contracted professionals across the various functional business areas with a view of improving efficiency and accountability.
This solution consists of a computer based system at KNEC that integrates various agencies and service providers to collect, verify and report on activities and personnel involved in the administration of national examinations (i.e. contracted professionals)
The Contracted Professionals System (CP2) is an integrated electronic system to automate the management of officers who are recruited to assist KNEC in administering the examinations.
The main aim of the system is to ensure that KNEC captures correct, accurate and timely details of all the personnel who are involved in the supervision, invigilation and management of examinations.
This will help KNEC to efficiently process claims for payments, monitoring attendance during the examinations period, accountability for the contracted professionals involved and streamline query resolutions.
The system complements the current declarations forms that are signed and filled by all the personnel involved. In addition, contracted professionals data requested is stored in a central database for ease of management.

Are you a Primary school teacher with qualifications to teach at Secondary school? Here is the good news for you. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has invited qualified primary school teachers to apply for deployment to junior secondary schools.
This move is part of the commission’s efforts to ensure seamless implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) and address staffing gaps in junior secondary schools.
To qualify for deployment, interested applicants must meet specific requirements set by the TSC. According to a statement by the commission, applicants must be serving as a primary school teacher employed by TSC.
Additionally, teachers must have attained a minimum mean grade of C+ at the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) level and a minimum grade of C+ in each of their two teaching subjects or their equivalent.
The TSC clarified that the opportunity is open exclusively to teachers serving in public primary schools under the Permanent and Pensionable (P&P) terms.
Teachers meeting the outlined qualifications are encouraged to submit their applications promptly through the TSC portal.
The commission has emphasised the need for qualified teachers to take advantage of this opportunity.
By deploying teachers from primary to junior secondary schools, TSC aims to bridge the existing teacher shortages in the nascent junior secondary education system.
Teachers are urged to apply through the official TSC website at www.tsc.go.ke.
The commission has not specified the deadline for applications, but teachers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to avoid last-minute challenges.
