Teachers have secured a major financial breakthrough following the signing of a fresh Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) that will see salary increases of up to 29.5 percent.
The 2025-2029 CBA, inked late Friday night during a closed-door meeting at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), introduces both monetary and non-monetary gains.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary General Collins Oyuu, who disclosed the details during the union's Kisumu City Branch Annual General Meeting at Rabuor Primary School, hailed the deal as a significant win, particularly for teachers in the lower job grades. "For the first time since the 2021-2025 cashless CBA, this new agreement provides monetary value.
Teachers in job Grades B5 to C3, who fall within the lower cadre, will receive the largest increase-up to 29.5 percent.
