MUUNDO WA VYEO VYA WALIMU
According to Service Circular No. 1 of 2014, the Teachers’ Structure has four Cadres which are:-
1. College Instructors – Teachers with Teaching/Education Degrees who teach in Teachers Colleges;
Teacher Grade C – Teachers with Degrees in Education/Teaching;
Teacher Grade B – Teachers with a Diploma in Teaching; and
Teacher Grade A – Teachers with a Certificate
NB: Since, in accordance with Section No. 2 of the Teachers Service Commission Act No. 25 of 2015, the Commission deals with Primary and Secondary School teachers in the Public Service, in this topic we will look at the Positions and Salary Scales for that group only.
WALIMU DARAJA C (TEACHERS GRADE C) – (walimu wa Shahada)
WALIMU DARAJA B (TEACHERS GRADE B) – (walimu wa Stashahada)
WALIMU DARAJA A (TEACHERS GRADE A) (walimu wa Cheti)
KUWABADILISHIA KAZI / CHEO WALIMU WALIOJIENDELEZA
When a teacher advances from one level of education to another, he or she should be promoted based on guidelines and documents as issued by the Permanent Secretary, SERVICE.
Service Development Circular No. 1 of 2014 on Service Structures of the Teaching Cadres under the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training;
Service Circular No. 1 of 2011 regarding the procedure for changing the Job/Position of Teachers who have undergone professional development.
According to Service Circular No. 1 of 2011, a teacher who is transferred after promotion will be given a rank corresponding to the salary he had before promotion. (Horizontal)
Example:- A Senior Teacher Grade A with a salary of TGTS E who has advanced to the Diploma level, will be changed to a Teacher Grade IB with a salary of TGTS E, or if he advances to the Degree level, he will be changed to a Teacher Grade IIC with a salary of TGTS E. Thus, under this procedure, the Teacher will not be returned to a position with a lower salary than he was receiving before advancing.
