Knut also wants TSC to honour its pledge to employ interns on permanent terms.
Learning institutions are hindered from implementing their programmes because funds are too low or delayed, according to Knut.
The Kenya Union of Teachers (Knut) has demanded a significant increase in funds the government sets aside for each learner in primary, junior and senior secondary schools,saying the current allocations are too low.
Knut Secretary-General Collins Oyuu said yesterday that the current allocations for pre-primary, primary, junior and senior secondary schools; as well as special needs education, which are either delayed or insufficient, hinder the learning institutions from effectively implementing their programmes due to financial distress.
