Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has sparked controversy by rejecting the 2026 salary increase proposed by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). The move has left many wondering what led to the union's decision, particularly given the current economic climate and the ongoing teacher shortage in Kenya's education system. According to sources, KUPPET cited concerns over the proposal's failure to address the disparity in salaries between teachers and other public servants, as well as the lack of consideration for the rising cost of living. As the country grapples with the implications of this decision, one question remains: what does the future hold for Kenya's teachers and the education sector?
