This funding aims to address concerns related to salary increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ogamba stressed that the release of 13.5 billion shillings is intended to tackle issues regarding salary increments. He acknowledged that the dispute with KUPPET members was compromising the learning environment and threatening to disrupt secondary school examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his appeal, Ogamba called for KUPPET to end their strike immediately. He underscored that implementing the CBA is crucial for resolving the current issues, which include provisions for hiring more teachers and increasing salaries by up to 9.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Education Cabinet Secretary highlighted the pressing need to resolve these matters to prevent further disruptions in the education sector. Committing to the CBA is seen as a vital step toward stabilizing the situation and ensuring that teachers and students are not negatively impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ogamba\u2019s statements reflect the government\u2019s recognition of the need for swift action to address the teacher dispute and minimize further interruptions. The release of funds is expected to ease salary concerns and restore normalcy in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By addressing the salary increment issues, the government aims to relieve the strain on the education system and prevent additional disruptions caused by ongoing disputes. The commitment to the CBA is a significant measure towards stabilizing the educational environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ogamba emphasized that timely action is crucial to ensure that the education sector continues to function smoothly. The financial commitment and implementation of the CBA are viewed as essential for resolving the conflict and providing necessary support to educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the allocation of 13.5 billion shillings is intended to address salary increase issues and fulfill the terms of the CBA. The goal is to stabilize the education sector, prevent examination disruptions, and positively impact both teachers and students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faith Nyongesa To resolve the ongoing teacher dispute, the government has committed to providing 13.5 billion shillings to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.11 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Averting teachers&#039;
