Under Phase
II of the 2025-2029 CBA, effective July 1, 2026, entry-level Primary Teacher II
starts at Sh26,225, up Sh1,197, while higher roles like Chief Principal reach
Sh133,351, with gains from Sh693 to Sh2,055.
The adjustments, funded partly by Sh8.4 billion,
preserve job titles and progression rules but won't appear in July payslips due
to payroll closure—August payouts will include July arrears via GHRIS reforms.
Reactions mix relief over the Sh33 billion deal's faster promotions with frustration that 3-5% raises lag inflation and feel like 'an insult' compared to private sector pay.
