In 2016, the then salaries and remuneration commission did a job evaluation for teachers teaching in public schools in Kenya. This led to the Teachers Service Commission and the teachers’ unions signing a new CBA in which teachers’ salaries were enhanced and old job groups abolished. The TSC then introduced new job groups and designation codes for each category of teachers in primary and secondary schools.

In this article, you will find designation codes for primary and secondary schools and their new TSC scales and titles.

Under the new agreement, P1, which fell under group G, was scrapped off and replaced with grade B5. B5 is now the new entry grade for teachers in primary schools.

The entry grade for secondary schools is still C1 for diploma holders and C2 for degrees.

Other grades were restructured as shown below;

Two new job groups, S and T were added which correspond to D4 and D5 respectively. The chief principal now falls under grade D4 in the current scales.
