Peg pay on effectiveness to end strikes

Kenya is at that eerie moment of strikes again! Having recently witnessed despicable scenes of student unrest across the country, we have graduated to teachers, doctors and nurses striking for higher pay and promotion.  Teachers in public schools have been out of school for three weeks now, as their counterparts in private schools attend to their students.

By the end of the year, learners in private schools will have had a clear advantage in the number of contact periods they will have had with their teachers.  Any wonder they continually outshine students in public schools?
