Teachers under grade C2 receive assorted benefits contingent on specific circumstances alongside their basic salary.
As per TSC, job grade C2 signifies an entry-level position for registered teachers with a bachelor’s degree in education. Typically, these individuals are university graduates employed as first-time teachers in secondary schools by the Teachers Service Commission.
Grade C2 teachers are divided into seven payment tiers, each associated with a distinct basic salary scale.
A trained teacher with a diploma can ascend to the rank of a secondary grade C2 teacher after three years of service as a grade C1 teacher under TSC. Conversely, university degree holders start directly at job grade C2 without any prerequisite service period.
