World Bank wants teachers pay rise pegged on merit
Teachers will be paid according to their performance and not the current uniform package if a World Bank proposal is effected.
This will also mean that the 1997 salary increment which is in its second phase of implementation will have to be reviewed. The bank is concerned that the 1997 salary increment was not sustainable and placed an extra burden on the government especially at a time when about 90 per cent of the education budget for primary and secondary schools is being spent on salaries and other benefits.
