Education Ministry’s circular on disbursement of salary arrears for BOM teachers.

Teachers employed by the schools’ Boards of Management (BoMs) have reason to smile after the Ministry of Education released their salary arrears. A boom of Sh60,000 awaits the teachers; being payment of salaries for June to December, 2020.

The BoM teachers failed to receive salaries during the prolonged closure of schools in 2020 as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic outbreak. And, indeed, these teachers underwent torrid time.

The Ministry has confirmed that the funds have been disbursed to schools’ accounts.

“The Ministry of Education has disbursed funds to some schools whose BoM teachers’ data had been submitted and verified by 26th October, 2020.” Reads the latest circular by the Ministry; in part.

It will be the responsibility of Principals to pay the teachers and account for the funds.
