TSC TO RESTORE PAY FOR 8,000 TEACHERS

CAPTION: TSC Acting Chairman Maini Mike Ugaia

THE Teaching Service Commission Acting Chairman, Maini Mike Ugaia, has officially directed the immediate restoration of 8,000 teachers who were affected by the recent auto salary suspension on Pay 10, (Wednesday, 13th May, 2026).

To speed this process, all Provincial TSC Advisors and Provincial Education Advisors are urgently requested to collect Resumption of Duty Summary Sheets from the affected teachers and forward them to the TSC Headquarters without delay.

The auto suspension was initially scheduled to take effect during Pay 7. However, initial data indicated that a critically high volume of 29,000 teachers nationwide would be
affected.
To prevent widespread disruption, the TSC management intervened and instructed the payroll division to defer the suspension deadline to Pay 10.

Through ongoing updates, the final number of affected personnel was successfully reduced to 8,000.

Teachers serving in provinces heavily impacted by Cyclone Maila were strictly exempted from this exercise, and their salaries have been maintained to support ongoing recovery
efforts.

The TSC has urged all provincial officers to take immediate action to gather all outstanding Resumption of Duty Summary Sheets from the affected teachers in their respective provinces and dispatch the verified data to Head Quarters immediately to facilitate prompt payroll reinstatement.

The Commission reiterates its commitment to teacher welfare and urges swift compliance from all provincial authorities to minimize further financial distress for teachers.
