Teachers marking the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education(KCSE) exams at State House Girls’ school, Nairobi go on strike over unpaid allowances.
This comes a day after their counterparts at Moi Girls’ Secondary School staged their protest yesterday evening.
The examiners stationed at State House Girls’ downed their tools today morning, a move that looks set to delay the release of the national exam’s results.
The teachers are demanding an increase in allowances paid for each paper marked, as well as a risk allowance as they have been marking the exams under the cloud of Covid-19.
KCSE marking began in April and results are expected to be out before schools reopen on May 10.
At least 27,284 markers distributed in about 40 national schools in the defunct eight regions.
