Teachers’ Retirement Ages Have Been Raised By The TSC
Teachers in Kenya can usually retire when they reach the age of 60. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has a clear procedure in place for teachers who are nearing retirement age to follow.
An important part of the retiring process is receiving a formal retirement notification from the TSC two years before to the anticipated retirement date.
Teachers who receive this notification have a number of things they must perform in order to begin the retirement process. This includes considering the option to commute a portion of their pension, which provides financial flexibility in their post-retirement years, and submitting all necessary documents as outlined in the notice as soon as possible. In addition, instructors need to check in with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to confirm their tax status and settle any tax debts.

This procedure guarantees that educators can settle into retirement without worrying about their financial security.
At age 50, if a Kenyan educator has worked for the government for at least 10 years on Permanent and Pensionable terms, they are eligible to petition for retirement. Teachers can begin the process by submitting a formal application to the school principal three months before their desired retirement date.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) follows a formal procedure whenever it receives such an application. The first step in the retirement process is for the TSC to review the teacher’s request and then issue a formal retirement notice. After the Commission has received the relevant paperwork from the educator, it will begin processing the retirement claim. The retirement process relies heavily on these papers, which must be precise and comprehensive.
TSC sends the retirement claim to the Treasury’s Director of Pensions for the final payment procedures after processing and documenting it thoroughly. Teachers who are eligible to retire at age 50 and have the necessary number of years of service will be able to do so smoothly and quickly with the help of this organized plan.
