While KNEC covers transportation costs, payments for centre managers, supervisors, and invigilators are the teachers’ responsibility. This year, compensation for teachers will see a slight increase due to the administration of both national exams and assessments.
The changes come after secondary school teachers, through their union, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), demanded significant pay raises for their out-of-workstation allowances during the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams, set to begin on October 22, 2024. KUPPET Secretary-General Akello Misori proposed substantial increases in daily pay for invigilators and supervisors. The union is advocating for invigilators to be paid Ksh 3,000 per day, up from the current Ksh 400, a 750% increase. Supervisors’ daily pay is proposed to rise to Ksh 3,500, up from Ksh 450, while principals, who also serve as exam centre managers, would receive Ksh 4,500 per day, up from Ksh 500 — a 900% hike.
In their letter to Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, KUPPET stressed that teachers will reject the current payment structure unless these changes are implemented.
Updated Payment Rates for 2024:
– **KPSEA Supervisors**: Ksh 680 per day for 3 days (Total: Ksh 2,040)
