Deputy Headteacher II in regular primary schools at T-Scale 9.

TSC received Sh316.7 billion from the 2023–24 budget, about half of the entire amount allotted to the education sector (Sh628.6 billion). The CEO of TSC, Nancy Macharia, stated that the commission required a substantial sum, Sh2.2 billion, in order to promote teachers to different employment levels.Furthermore, TSC was given Sh4.8 billion for the hiring of 20,000 intern teachers—a sum that increased from Sh2.5 billion for teacher recruitment the year before.
