The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has asked the government to review the mandatory retirement age of 60 years while rejecting a proposed plan to impose a Ksh10,500 training fee for Grade 9 examiners.
While addressing the press on Wednesday, Deputy Secretary-General Moses Nthurima asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to review the retirement age of 60 years, which the government has vowed to enforce.
KUPPET is citing the need for experienced educators to continue contributing to the profession.
The teachers' union wants the retirement age increased to 65 years.
