The Teaching service Commissions has issued a public a notice on all 2023 retirees’ teachers who left the service in August of 2023 and have not received their end of service benefits.

The release pointed out that In 2021, the Teaching Service Commission received a cabinet approval for retiring teachers to be paid their end of service benefits along with their last month pay in order to avoid the back and forth they go through in trying to secure their benefits, which in most cases gets very cumbersome especially for those in hard-to-reach communities.

The Commission confirmed that they had successfully worked with the Ministry of Finance through the Accountant General’s Department to effect this change in the last two years (2022 and 2023).

However, TSC further revealed that about 27% of 2023 retirees are yet to be paid their end of service benefits either because they had not gone through the process or are still missing some required documents to aid the processing of their retirement benefits.
