TSC Salary and Allowances for Deputy Principals and Senior Masters: Job Grade D2 (T Scale 12)

However, the amendment was signed on August 28, 2023, resulting in adjustments to the remuneration structure that teachers had long sought.
To promote teacher morale and motivation, the Teachers Service Commission announced a significant compensation increase for Deputy Principals II and Senior Masters 1.
