TSC Updated House Allowance for Municipality Teachers
All engaged teachers in Kenya get a variety of allowances in addition to their monthly base pay from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The compensation includes housing allowance, commuter allowance, leave allowance, hardship allowance, and medical allowance (which is not paid directly to the teacher but is withheld and submitted to AON Minet insurance and the National Health Insurance Fund, NHIF).
This article focuses on the generous housing allowances given to teachers working in large towns , cities and municipalities (across several occupational groups).
The location and work group of the teaching station affect the TSC house allowances marginally. For instance, dwelling allowances are larger for teachers in cities with a higher cost of living than they are for instructors in rural areas.
Additionally, dwelling allowance levels vary among teachers who work in the same municipality but in different job groups.
Municipality areas have been divided up into three groups by the Commission: the capital city (Nairobi), large cities (Mombasa, Kisumu, and Nakuru), and other major towns (Eldoret, Trans-Nzoia, Kiambu, Makueni, Kilifi, Nyeri, Kisii, Machakos, Kitui, Narok, Embu, Meru, etc.).
TSC Updated House Allowance for Municipality Teachers
Compared to teachers stationed in other municipalities and big municipalities, Nairobi teachers are paid the most.
Mombasa, Nakuru, and Kisumu are some of the major municipalities. Higher job group teachers from these regions employed by TSC receive a larger salary than lower work group teachers.
As a result, salaries for teachers in municipalities are determined by their positions, duties, and the areas in which they are stationed.
The dwelling allowances for teachers in Nairobi, significant municipalities, and other municipalities are summarised below.
