The meeting saw the Teachers’ service commission TSC plus the representatives from three major unions of teachers which include;
- The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet)
- The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut)
- Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (Kusnet).
During the first meeting, it was Unfortunate that the negotiations did not result in a mutual agreement regarding salary adjustments for the above group of teachers .
TSC finally put forth a plan suggesting a salary increment ranging from 2.4 percent to 9.5 percent over a two-year period , something that was opposed by the union.
Unions dismissed the above attempt saying that it falls significantly short of the seven to ten percent raise recommended by the Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC) for civil servants, security personnel as well as teachers.
As per to the TSC’s proposal, lowest-paid teachers in Job group B5 were supposed to see their basic pay increase from Sh21,756 to Sh22,793 in the first year. Then salary was to increase to Sh23,830 in the following year, this is only an increase of Sh1,037.
Additionally , the the maximum basic pay for teachers in Job group B5 was projected to rise from Sh27,195 to Sh28,491.
