I have heard this too. I hear a graduate teacher is earning 50k and principals earning 250k. Kweli au rongo?
Rongo!!!!
how much for graduate teacher, principal, snr principal etc?
30 years in service you get a gross of 56000 bob..
What do you expect if in those 30 years you've been doing the same thing with the same qualification? And I am not belittling teaching; I hold it in very high esteem.
But, if you want to earn more, you must do more! Otherwise, be content and only expect nominal increment to hedge against inflation...
So the question is: How much was the salary in 1983? The CPI was 5.32 in 1983 and 132.5 in 2012 - about 25 times (Source
HERE)...
If the 1983 salary was about Sh2,250, then the said teach should not complain!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
