TSC Promised Promotion of Teachers After Salary Hike
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) had earlier promised to recruit and promote thousands of teachers following the signing of a landmark Ksh33 billion Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with teachers’ unions.
In a statement issued on Saturday, July 18, TSC said Ksh2.54 billion has been allocated for the recruitment of new teachers, while Ksh1 billion will be used to promote teachers across all job cadres.
An additional Ksh950 million will go towards upskilling or updating the professional knowledge and teaching competencies of senior schoolteachers.
“Owing to the government’s strong support for the teaching service, TSC will, in the 2025/2026 Financial Year, recruit additional teachers at Ksh2.4 billion,” the Commission stated.
“Already, the Kenya Kwanza government has recruited 76,000 teachers in just two and a half years.”
