KNEC’S PAYMENT RATES PER SCRIPT AND TRANSPORT

Teacher contracted by the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC to mark the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) national exams now want the council to raise the payment rate to Kshs 100 per script.

Besides, examiners want marking centres(venues) for KCPE English Composition and Kiswahili Insha to be moved to either “university campuses or other high-level government institutions.” KUPPET also wants the entire marking exercise to be moved to institutions with better facilities.

 The congestion and poor meals issues have to be addressed. According to Misori, the marking exercise should be done in universities or colleges, but not secondary schools.

The examiners also want the Council to double transport allowance paid to teachers who travel from far away regions for the national marking exercise.

MARKING HOURS

KUPPET is also suggesting that the council should change its marking schedule. The marking hours should be changed from between 4.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. to 8.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m.

According to KUPPET Secretary-General Mr Akello Misori, the afore-mentioned proposals will be presented after which the union shall demand a serious meeting.

Speaking to The Standard, Misori said that there is no way teachers can be subjected to inhumane conditions and poor wages yet they are playing a critical role.
