KUPPET Gives KNEC a Deadline for Delayed Payments
KUPPET Gives KNEC a Deadline for Delayed Payments. The Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has been given one week to pay the honorarium for marking national exams, according to the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET). Kenya’s official examinations are administered by the Kenya Official Examination Council (KNEC).
According to Julius Korir, the Deputy Chairperson, the KNEC has used them in the past but would not allow this practice to continue.
The Kenya National Examination Council has exploited our instructors, and we won’t stand for it. We want them to start paying us as soon as possible. We need the council to get in touch with us within the next week so that we can fix the problem; if not, they will witness something unprecedented.
When Moses Nthurima, the Deputy Secretary General for KUPPET, advised the instructors to forego the upcoming National Exams because of the delayed payments, he expressed his thoughts in words. The instructors agreed with what he said.
Since the council has not yet acknowledged responsibility, we wish to caution our instructors against marking this year’s tests, he continued. “Since our teachers have not yet received their salary from the previous year, we are pleading with the council not to take advantage of them. We implore the council not to take advantage of our teachers because they haven’t gotten their wages from the prior year.
Kuppet sets a deadline for the postponed payment to KNEC.
Additionally, they wish to discuss with the KNEC the ideal salary rates and administrative procedures for teachers.
They requested that their remuneration be changed since the secretariat of the Teachers Service Commission was compensated differently than they were.
Since the beginning of this decade, the TSC secretariat has earned between 50 and 60 percent more money than professors in the same profession. These individuals expect their pay to rise.
We are TSC members as well, and after analyzing the statistics, we found that prejudice against teachers had prevented educators from receiving 127 billion dollars they were due,” Nthurima added.
On the other side, they claimed that the TSC’s strategy for teacher promotion is ineffective.
Because it is given in a way that they cannot grasp, the career development system, also known as the promotions technique, is of little assistance to the instructors.
They assert that neither the job groups for senior teachers nor the advertisements posted by the Teachers Service Commission include any instructors. They further claim that no teachers are employed in the job categories intended for primary school teachers.
“Today the commission has an advertisement that wants teachers to apply for positions and there is no promotion, yet they say that teachers are not taking the administration role,” Nthurima said. “How can they say that when there isn’t a promotion and there is a job advertisement asking for applications from teachers?”
