The Kenya National Union of Teachers has proposed a 60 per cent increase in the salary and 30 per cent increases in all allowances in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with their employer, the Teachers Service Commission, from July this year.
KNUT principally represents teachers in primary schools, advocating for their rights and influencing education policy.
KNUT Deputy Secretary General Hesbon Otieno reveals that the current CBA will expire on 30th June this year and the teachers were expected to negotiate for a new term of service.
The new CBA, which is currently under review by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) for advisory, is expected to take effect from next financial year (2025/2026).
