When a graduate applies for a job with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in Kenya, they are placed in job group K, which at the present is grade C2 with the designation of Secondary Teacher II. This grade corresponds to the job title of Secondary Teacher II.
According to the letter of appointment provided by the TSC, the newly employed teacher will be placed on probation for a minimum of six (6) months. There is a possibility that the teacher’s probationary time will be lengthened if they do not perform up to the standards expected of them.
After three years of service, the educator is eligible for an immediate promotion to job group L, which corresponds to the current grade of C3.
Even though a high school diploma is the bare minimum qualification for teaching in secondary schools, the vast majority of teachers in secondary schools have degrees from four-year colleges or universities.
Under job group K (grade C2), the teacher is eligible for a rental housing allowance in the amount of 7,500 Kenyan shillings and a commuter allowance in the amount of 5,000 Kenyan shillings.
After taking into account all of the relevant deductions, the new graduating teacher will begin their career with a base pay of Kshs 38,000. It is important to keep in mind that those individuals whose HELB Loans are now being debited will not be impacted by this amount.

It is important to keep in mind that a newly recruited teacher’s pay will be subject to a variety of deductions in the beginning of their career. They include the following:
The Widows and Children’s Pension Scheme (WCPS), which amounts to around Kshs. 699.10, and the University Loan Recovery, which amounts to approximately Kshs. 5000. Take note that this only applies to those educators who benefited from the HELB programme in some way.
Union Contribution; could be Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA), or Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET).
Pay as You Earn, often known as PAYE.
Further deductions may be taken from the teacher’s sacco savings or loan repayment, depending on whether or not the teacher is currently paying back a loan.
If the contentious housing levy is ultimately approved the following week, this pay stub will need to be revised. Deductions equaling three percent of teachers’ base compensation will be taken from their paychecks moving forward.
