TSC Issues New Directive to Teachers Concerning may Payslip
After teachers complained of their May payslips reading zeros, the teachers service commission has issued a directive to that effect.
Due to this matter, many teachers failed to access loans from banks and saccos. This led to frustrations at the bank following rejection from banks.
The commission has gone out of its way to offer a solution to this matter. It has directed that all those teachers who have the same issue to immediately report the anomaly for further correction.
Teachers have been asked to visit the TSC Sub county offices and report where the office will further report the matter to the TSC headquarters.
Similarly, for those who can not be able to visit the tsc sub county offices can attach a copy of the payslip and send it to the tsc headquarters using the email infor@tsc.go.ke for support.
Good news to the teachers is that they will receive their June salaries as early as Wednesday next week.
Before Thursday, June 15, budget reading day. Teachers have been paid early in June before the budget reading day.
TSC compensates instructors before the new financial year. A new budget ends the 2022–2023 financial year.
Next week, several teachers will receive backpay. JSS instructors received their wages without arrears.
This year, P1 teachers taught junior secondary school.
Only a few PTE teachers assigned to JSS received one-month salary without arrears.
TSC would reimburse instructors who were promoted but not paid their arrears. B5 teachers went to C1.
TSC requested Sh74 billion in the budget to hire at least 111,870 teachers over five years to close the deficit.
TSC chief executive Nancy Macharia told the Senate National Cohesion and Integration Committee, chaired by Marsabit MP Mohammed Chute, that the country has a teacher shortage of 111,870 (47,329 at the primary level and 64,541 in post-primary institutions).
“Over five years, the Commission must recruit 111,870 teachers to address the teacher shortage. Macharia said the Commission needs Sh14.8 billion annually to recruit teachers as an intervention.
Over the years, the Commission has devised ways to optimise teacher staffing, taking into account budgetary provision, demand and supply of teachers, and existing establishment.
The Commission requested Sh4.3 billion for teacher promotion and the Teacher Professional Development (TDP) initiative.
Sh2.2 billion will promote 14,000 educators who have stalled in the same employment category and those with higher credentials, while Sh2.1 billion will fund the TPD initiative.
The commission told the National Assembly’s education committee that it needs additional money to recruit 20,000 interns and implement complete teacher medical coverage in its 2023/2024 budget proposal.
The Commission’s strategic plan, Medium Plan, Vision 2030, and Kenya Kwanza Manifesto priorities drove its 2023/24 financial year and medium-term estimations. Macharia said the Manifesto addresses the need for better health, education, and safety nets for disadvantaged groups.
TSC CEO Nancy Macharia told the committee that some instructors had stuck in one work group for a long time, demotivating and lowering productivity.
This impacts student education. Macharia said TSC needs Sh2.2 billion to promote teachers across job cadres.
