The union warned that teacher stagnation has demoralised staff and undermined quality education delivery.
The union wants costly boarding schools phased out by 2030 to allow learners to study closer to their homes.
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has demanded the immediate promotion of at least 130,000 teachers who have stagnated in the same job groups for years.
Speaking on Wednesday, Kuppet Secretary General Akelo Misori said the government must prioritise teacher promotions, recruitment and funding of schools instead of engaging in what he termed as “side shows” on devolution.
