Deputy Principals III and Senior Master I will earn between sh. 59,286 and sh. 80,242 with Senior Master IV, Deputy Principals II and Senior Lecturer IV pocketing between sh. 26.610 and sh. 46,912.

Under this new dispensation, P1 teacher, the lowest grade in the teaching service at Job Group ‘G’ has been phased out and will now be referred to as Primary Teacher II to serve in Grade B5 which is equivalent to Job Group ‘H’.

They will now earn between sh. 24,250 and 27,195 up from the previous sh. 23,304.
