The lowest paid teacher could get a raise of Sh14,550, increasing their salary to Sh38,800 if a push by the teachers’ union is approved.

Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) wants the Teachers Service Commission to review the 2021–2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) to effect a 60 per cent salary increase for the 300,000-odd teachers.
