The agreement has reviewed the remuneration payable to teachers which will be implemented in two (2) phases with effect from 1st July 2023. The second phase will be implemented on 1st July 2024 for the teachers who will be in service at the material time.

2.   Application

This Circular shall apply to all teachers employed by the Commission and are in service as at 1st July, 2023.

3.   Incremental Dates

Teachers converting into the new salary scales will retain their current incremental dates. However, where the incremental date falls on 1st July, 2023 teachers will be granted their annual increment on the existing salary scales then convert to the new salary points with effect from the same date.

4.   Annual Salary Increment

Annual salary increment for all teachers will continue to apply as provided for in the Code of Regulations for Teachers (2015).

5.   Grading & Salary Structure

The Grading structure and designations will continue to apply as set out in Table 1 while the new salary structure and Conversion Tables after the review are as set out in Tables 2-12 attached to this Circular.
