**KNUT WEEKLY MESSAGE TO TEACHERS**

**Good morning, teachers of Kenya. Good morning, educators.**

As we begin another blessed week, we thank the Almighty God for His grace, protection, and faithfulness throughout the school term.

This week marks the close of the **second term of the 2026 academic calendar**, the longest school term of the year. On behalf of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all teachers for your selfless dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to educating the nation and shaping the future of our children. Your sacrifice and professionalism continue to inspire hope and transform lives.

As schools close for the holidays, we encourage parents and guardians to make quality time for their children. Take time to understand their experiences, guide them, and nurture their values. A child's character is not built in school alone; it is strengthened through the love, guidance, discipline, and active involvement of parents and families. A strong partnership between the home and the school remains the foundation for raising responsible and productive citizens.

As we celebrate the academic achievements recorded during the term, KNUT also reminds teachers that **personal and professional growth** is equally important. Through the **KNUT–Open University of Kenya Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)**, teachers, their spouses, and biological children can benefit from a **16% annual tuition fee waiver** on programmes offered by the Open University of Kenya. The University's flexible learning model enables teachers to study from the comfort of their homes while continuing with their professional responsibilities. We encourage all eligible members to take advantage of this opportunity to further their education, enhance their skills, and advance their careers.

As learners take a well-deserved break, may this holiday also provide teachers with an opportunity to rest, spend quality time with their familie

Kenya National Union of Teachers led by the National Chairman, Mr Patrick Munuhe Karinga and Deputy Secretary-General, Mr Hesbon Otieno Agolla on Thursday (June 18th, 2026) signed an Agreement for Endorsement of the new Career Progression Guidelines to effectively replace the 2018 CPGs which have since outlived their usefulness following the change of Education system from age-old 8-4-4 to the outcome-based Competency Based Education. The new CPGs will now be transmitted to Salaries and Remuneration Commission to conduct Job Evaluation to establish the worth of each Job, and also come up with proper Job Description for the purpose of developing the Bands and Grades.The SRC will also determine the number of Jobs in the Public Teaching Service.The CPGs will assist to develop policies and procedures that will standardize teachers' professional development. Important to note, the grading structure will take into account the Job Evaluation report. The CPGs provide all basic requirements for career progression, training, and promotion of teachers. For the first time, teacher unions and TSC will participate in the Job Evaluation exercise which is expected to commence soonest.
The CPGs have provided the broader framework and pathways in the school and classroom management, and ensured that curriculum implementation is structured and every teacher is clear on what is expected of him/her upon joining the Teaching Service.

We celebrate the teachers of Kenya 🇰🇪 for their dedication and hard work in shaping our nation. Kenya’s leading position in East Africa is largely due to the commitment of our teachers who continue to nurture knowledge, skills, and values in every learner.
Let us recognize and support them—both as a government and as communities—so they can feel valued and proud of their noble profession. 👏
