Kenya’s education system faces growing calls to rethink how it evaluates teachers, moving beyond narrow measures like salaries, industrial action, and student exam performance. Critics argue that current assessments fail to capture the broader impact of educators, including their role in shaping critical thinking and social development. The debate highlights tensions between systemic pressures—such as funding constraints—and the need for more holistic recognition of teaching contributions. With strikes and policy disputes frequently dominating discussions, stakeholders are urging a shift toward fairer, more meaningful ways to measure and reward educators’ work.
