Kenya Times: KNUT wants teacher test scrapped
THE Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) wants the government to scrap the Proficiency Test for non-graduate teachers.
The union’s national officials argued that teachers should not be subjected to the tests but instead be granted a three-year automatic promotion.
Speaking in Kehancha during the Kuria KNUT branch elections, the union’s national chairman Mr Joseph Chirchir threatened to call for a national strike unless the government implemented the scheme of service for non-graduate teachers immediately.
