Teachers raise alarm over delay in new career guidelines implementation

Audio By Vocalize

Teachers have raised concerns over delays in the implementation of the revised Career Progression Guidelines (CPG), accusing the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) of failing to provide the financial implementation framework needed to roll out the reforms.

Speaking in Mbale, Vihiga Branch Executive Secretary of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), Charles Otiende, said the delay had left thousands of teachers anxious over their career progression and expected salary adjustments.

Otiende said the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) forwarded the revised Career Progression Guidelines to the SRC in May, seeking advice on the financial implications and the payment model to be used in implementing the new structure.

However, more than two months later, the commission is yet to respond.
