Teachers threaten to skip national exam marking over poor pay

Teachers are now demanding better pay, warning that failure to address the issue could disrupt marking.

The union says teachers involved in the national examination marking exercise are always dissatisfied with the payments offered, arguing that the compensation does not reflect the amount of work, time and commitment required during the exercise.

KUPPET officials have called on the government, through the Ministry of Education and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), to review the marking allowances and improve teachers' working conditions.

Mary Rotich, the national assistant treasurer, warned that failure to address the concerns could disrupt the examination marking process, potentially delaying the release of results.
