Teachers across the country are set to win big after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), and the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET) inked a new deal worth Ksh33 billion.
In the new 2025-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), teachers in the highest job group (D5) are set to earn up to Ksh167,415, marking a five per cent increase in their salaries.
The new salaries were the result of day-long crunch talks between TSC and the two teachers' unions at the Kenya Institute of Special Education in Kasarani on Friday, July 18.
In the meeting, union leaders and government representatives agreed on a 29.6 per cent increase for the lowest-paid teachers.
