Study: 200,000 Kenyan teachers may quit over poor salaries

More than 200,000 teachers could quit if their salaries are not adjusted. A report by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) says 76 per cent of teachers in public schools wish to leave the profession because their ‘professional and personal needs’ are not met.

Knut secretary general Wilson Sossion said this would further widen the teacher gap that currently stands at about 80,000.
