Education Sector Stagnation — The Crisis Behind Kenya’s Classrooms

In the podcast episode, Brian discusses the concerning state of Kenya's education system, with specific focus on basic and higher education. He explores the fundamental issues including the failure of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to uphold structured promotions and allowances, which has led to a labor crisis and low morale among educators. Brian also comments on the prevalent trend of 'paper promises' resulting in legal agreements turning into empty gestures due to inadequate funding from the Treasury. In higher education, he addresses a recent strike led by several unions over an alleged failure by the government to meet wage agreements. Brian concludes on the note that Kenya's education crisis is not just about money, but the declining trust in the state, affecting the future of its educators and learners. https://jijuze.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/chatgpt-image-oct-5-2025-08_41_59-am.pngThe Sh7.9 billion stalling university lecturers strike talks - The Standardhttps://nation.africa/kenya/news/education/lecturers-accuse-src-universities-delay-tactics-over-pay-arrears-5217136 - YouTubeUoN directs lecturers to resume work on Monday amid ongoing strike
