Africa-Press – Kenya. Secondary school teachers now want the Kenya National Examinations Council to increase the rates for marking exams. Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers secretary general Akelo Misori said the teachers have been marking exams in distress.
The union now wants Knec to raise the rates from Sh55 to Sh100 per script. Misori said the concerns raised are part of the issues facing teachers in other marking centres.
“The teachers have said enough is enough, we will develop unspecified actions in future,” Misori said.
He said the union will soon call for a total boycott of marking KCSE if their demands are not met. “You cannot wake people at 4 am, they are not prisoners or slaves,” he said.
He decried poor living conditions at the marking centres. The teachers have been housed in different schools within Nairobi. On Tuesday, marking was disrupted at Mangu High by teachers marking CRE paper 1 after they started to protest over delayed pay and poor working conditions.
