Status of Implementation of the 2025–2029 CBA

Key Implementation Metrics & Breakdown
A structural overview of the 2025–2029 CBA rollout, highlighting current challenges and our unwavering union stance.
Effective Date
The 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) took effect in July 2025, immediately after the expiry of the previous CBA in June 2024.
Salary Award
The negotiated award was not uniform. Lower job grades (B5–C3) received higher percentage increases of up to 26%, while higher grades (C4–D5) received up to 5%.
Responsibility
Implementation responsibility was left jointly to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), and The National Treasury.
Current Situation
TSC did not publish annual formulas or percentage allocations per year, releasing only final scales expected at the end of the period, preventing independent verification.
