Understanding the salary and benefits package is crucial when considering a job offer, especially in light of the implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum in Kenya, which has led to a high demand for junior secondary school teachers.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) provides clear guidelines on salaries and allowances for teachers across different job grades and groups.

For instance, Grade B5, T Scale 5, is the entry level for primary school teachers, while Grade C1 (T Scale 6) serves as the starting point for secondary school teachers with a Diploma in Education. Grade C2 (T Scale 7) is for those with a Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent, with opportunities for advancement. Job Group C3 (T Scale 8) offers promotion prospects for secondary school teachers.

Moving up the scale, Grade C4 (T Scale 9) is primarily for institutional administrators, followed by Grade C5 (T Scale 10) for deputy principals and headteachers. Grade D1 (T Scale 11) represents a mix of promotional and entry positions for deputy principals in secondary schools.
