Teachers are set to emerge as some of the biggest beneficiaries of the government's latest public sector salary review after the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) approved the implementation of Phase II of the Fourth Remuneration Review Cycle, effective July 1, 2026.

The salary review, announced in a circular dated July 17 and signed by SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich, affects civil servants serving in the National Government and forms part of the 2025/26–2028/29 remuneration cycle.

While the revised pay structure covers all public officers, the teaching profession stands out due to the wide range of salary adjustments across almost every cadre, from entry-level primary school teachers to chief principals.
