    TSC releases list of new 44 hardship areas 2025

    The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has released the list of the 44 reviewed hardship areas.
    The hardship areas have been revised and the hardship allowances has also been revised with hardship areas now classified as EXTREME or MODERATE.

    Some areas have completely been removed and will no longer be getting hardship allowances as government eyes to save close to sh 6.5 billion.

    The reclassification, set to take effect in July, will see hardship areas split into two tiers Extreme and Moderate with several previously recognised zones excluded entirely.

    Teachers in areas, such as Tinderet, Soin, Bunyala, Elgeyo Marakwet, and Tharaka Nithi now face the prospect of losing the hardship allowances that have long cushioned them from the challenges of working in remote and under-resourced environments.

    Teachers in areas now marked as MODERATE will have their hardship allowances slashed as these areas have made considerable amount of improvement.

    Areas marked as EXTREME HARDHIP AREAS by Salaries and Renumeration Commission (SRC) include Mandera County, Garissa County, Turkana County, Wajir County, Tana River County, Marasabit County, some parts of Lamu County, West Pokot County, some parts of Baringo County and Isiolo County.

    Areas marked as MODERATE HARDSHIP AREAS include some parts of Kwale County, Narok West, Narok South and Loita, Samburu, some parts of Suba South and Suba North, some parts of Kitui County, some parts of Makueni County, some parts of Kajiado County, some parts of Kilifi County, Nyando and Nyakach in Kisumu County, some parts of Laikipia County and some parts of Nyandarua County.

    Below is the latest list of the 44 areas that were previously coded to receive hardship allowance by TSC. Some have since developed significantly and the allowances have been removed in some areas and slashed in others.

    The changes will take effect on 1st July 2025 and will effect majority of TSC teachers working in hardship areas.
