TSC Clarifies Why Half of JSS Teachers Are Yet to Receive 3 months Salaries.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has today Sunday, April 2023 confirmed that half of the Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers deployed in the country are yet to receive their pay.
The commission reiterated that of the 35,550 teachers deployed in February 2023, only 50 percent have been paid their Salaries.
Reason for Delayed Payment
The commission has cleared the air that those who have not received their pay yet are those who reported to their work stations late than expected this leading to delay in processing their Salaries.
The commission has also indicated that the delay in payment may have been orchestrated by delayed submission of requisite documents.
“As is a procedure, the recruits are given 30 days within which to report to their various stations, which leads to some commencing their work later than others,” read part of the TSC post on Facebook.
“This sometimes causes delays in processing of their salaries. So far, the commission has processed over 50 percent of the salaries of the newly employed teachers,” TSC Stated.
Nonetheless, the commission has urged those who have been paid to confirm receipt of the salaries via their preferred banks.
Apologies
The commission has begged your pardon and has apologized for the delay but they have promised to make payments for all teachers by May 2023.
“We apologize for any delays that may have been occasioned by late reporting of teachers to their stations or delayed submission of requisite documents.
“All efforts are being made to affect all the salaries in May 2023,” noted TSC.
All those teachers who wish to contact the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) can do so through the Director of Human Resource Management and Development for any inquiry.
The pioneer tutors in junior secondary decried a crisis in the implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in schools citing delayed salary payment and lack of enough teachers in schools.
The Education Stakeholders reached the Ministry Of Education (MoE) and asked them to intervene in order to avert the crisis.
On April 14, 2023, the Ministry Of Education through the Principal Secretary for Basic Education Belio Kipsang announced that they had sent the JSS capitation to schools and asked school head to confirm receipt of the money through the county Directors of Education in their counties.
Release of the money by the ministry was aimed at averting the crisis that was being witnessed in schools across the country even as the CBC premier class came to the end of the term.
