The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has started disbursing the ICT training allowance of Ksh 2,400 to Junior School teachers who completed the June 2026 KDEAP training. Payments are being processed county by county after a three-month delay; teachers are advised to confirm active bank details with their county offices to ensure smooth receipt of the allowance.
Key Takeaways
- ICT training allowance of Ksh 2,400 is now being paid to eligible Junior School teachers following delays.
- Delays were caused by documentation and account issues identified in a TSC memo to county and regional directors.
- Teachers should ensure they submitted active, non-SACCO bank accounts and corrected data by the county deadline.
- Support resources and CBE teaching materials are available for teachers implementing ICT in classrooms.
What happened: quick summary of the payment rollout
More than 62,000 Junior School teachers who attended the KDEAP ICT integration training in June 2026 were owed Ksh 2,400 each for transport and overheads. After months of waiting, the TSC issued a memo explaining the hold-up and instructed county offices to correct and resubmit records. Disbursement has now begun, with funds appearing in accounts in several counties and continued processing across the country.
Why the ICT training allowance was delayed
The TSC memo cited three main problems that stalled bulk payments:
- Account discrepancies: many teachers supplied SACCO accounts that could not be used for the intended electronic transfers.
- Inactive bank accounts: dormant or inactive accounts caused transaction rejections.
- Incomplete documentation: missing attendance registers, master trainer lists and venue invoices prevented settlement to the ICT Authority (ICTA).
County Directors were asked to correct data using prescribed templates and submit the records to the Director of Teacher Professional Management by the set deadline. Teachers with urgent concerns were directed to their county offices for follow-up.
How teachers can check and resolve payment issues
If you have not yet received your ICT training allowance, follow these steps:
- Verify with your county office that you supplied an active personal bank account (not a SACCO account).
- Ask the county to confirm that original attendance registers and trainer lists were submitted to ICTA as required.
- Provide any missing personal or banking details using the county’s prescribed template to avoid further rejections.
- Keep records of all communications and reference the TSC memo details when following up locally.
What the allowance means for teachers and classrooms
Although Ksh 2,400 is a modest sum, the allowance acknowledges teachers’ time and costs invested in the nationwide ICT rollout under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework. Proper payment helps restore trust, motivates more effective use of DLP hardware in classrooms, and supports ongoing digital lesson development. Teachers can pair the training with ready resources such as CBC exams and practice materials and CBC lesson plans to accelerate classroom integration.
Practical tips for using KDEAP training in lessons
- Start small: integrate one digital activity a week that aligns with CBE learning outcomes.
- Use local resources and templates to build ICT-based lesson plans—see free curriculum designs and assessment materials for guidance.
- Collaborate with peers in your sub-county to share created digital resources and troubleshoot device issues.
- Document student work digitally where possible to track progress and showcase ICT impact during future training or audits.
Resources and further reading for Junior School teachers
Teachers preparing ICT-integrated lessons can access free materials and past papers to support classroom practice. Useful links include grade-appropriate exam packs and curriculum designs such as Grade 1–3 term exams (CBC) and broader CBC curriculum designs that align with KDEAP objectives.
Final note: patience and proactivity
The TSC-directed corrections and sequential county processing mean payments will continue over the coming weeks. Teachers are encouraged to be proactive—confirm bank details, follow up with county directors, and use available lesson resources to apply ICT training in the classroom effectively. The successful rollout of KDEAP depends not only on hardware delivery but on properly supported teachers who can turn training into improved learning outcomes.
