*ECDE Teachers Monthly Salary Offer Proposed by SRC, Check Here for More Details and Proposed Amounts Per Month*
The SRC appointed an advisory to come up with a salary structure for ECDE teachers.
Kenya Union of Pre- Primary Education Teachers have rejected new salary structure for Early Childhood Development and Education teachers proposed by SRC saying they were not consulted.
The Commission developed a committee on new job evaluation grading and remuneration structures for Early Childhood Development Education teachers last year and the committee wrote a letter to council of governors.
“After series of deliberations with relevant stakeholders and considering challenges in funding and remuneration for the ECDE Teachers at all counties, the Commission has come up with a salary structure for all ECDE based on the results of the job evaluation,” the letter read in part.
Secretary General Kenya Union Of Pre Primary Education Teachers Opiyo Samuel in an interview said that as stakeholders, SRC did not consult them before developing the salary structure advisory. He commended the county governments for rejecting the SRC salaries since they are below the minimum wage.
According to the SRC advisory, a certificate holder qualified as Assistant ECDE Teacher III should earn between 7,836 and 8,717 shillings monthly.
SRC further advises that Diploma holders (Senior ECDE Teacher I) with 15 years’ experience to earn between 15, 224 and 19,064 shillings monthly.
The SRC advisory did not talk about the salary for the Degree holders. However, they categorized them into seven Job Evaluation grades, namely Graduate ECDE Teacher III (entry), II and I, Principal Graduate ECDE Teacher II and I(Assistant Director), Senior Principal Graduate ECDE Teacher II (Deputy Director) and Chief Principal ECDE Teacher (Director).
The advisory SRC committee also proposed commuter and house allowance, with the advisory noting that house allowances should be paid as per prevailing SRC circulars categorizing them into four clusters.
