Teachers play a critical role in shaping the future of any society by imparting knowledge and skills to the next generation. In Kenya, the education sector faces numerous challenges, including poor remuneration for teachers.
A recent World Bank report shows Kenyan teachers earn significantly less than other professionals with similar levels of education. This has been a long-standing concern, with the Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA) being at the forefront of advocating for better working conditions.
