Teachers’ House allowance as per 2021-2024 TSC CBA Counter Proposal
The teachers’ service commission, TSC, has just concluded the implementation of the 2017-2020 collective bargaining agreement, CBA. Plans are underway to commence the four year phased implementation of a new CBA from July 2021.
The new CBA will favour classroom teachers when it comes to basic salaries, unlike the previous one, which favoured administrators.

TSC had earlier on presented a counter 2021-2024 CBA proposal to the Salaries And Remuneration Commission, SRC, for approval. This move by TSC came after a possible agreement with the unions, KNUT and KUPPET, was in vain.
In the TSC 2021-2024 CBA counter proposal offer, the basic salaries will be increased by between 16 % and 32 %.TSC earlier proposed an increment of 10 % on the house allowance but changed it to 20% in the counter proposal offer presented to SRC so that it matches leave and commuter allowances.
If SRC approves the 2021-2024 TSC counter proposal offer, then teachers will earn house allowances as per table 2 below.
KUPPET proposed that house allowance be harmonized for all regions and a township allowance be introduced for teachers teaching in urban areas. KNUT was also advocating for a township allowance for teachers in urban areas.
