Teachers have demanded higher pay for examination officials and enhanced condition for all professionals contracted during the administration of the tests.
Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) wants the exams agency to raise marking fees for each script by at least Sh50, citing the present harsh economic times.
Kuppet argues that papers like Chemistry Paper 1, Mathematics and English Paper 1 should each be paid at not less than sh100.
Presently marking each paper attracts between Sh51 to Sh58.
“Science teachers (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) need to be considered for allowances during practical. Other practical subjects like Agriculture, Building & Construction, Music and Home Sciences should be considered too,” said Kuppet secretary-general Akello Misori.
