Despite being overworked, receiving little recognition from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and earning meagre monthly salaries, teachers in refugee camps have one of the highest levels of commitment to their work.
A study by the African Population and Health Research Centre (APHRC), a research-to-policy institution, found that most of teachers in refugee camps (around 87 percent) earn less than Sh9,000 per month. This is compared to 71.4 percent of teachers employed by the TSC who earn an average monthly salary of Sh30,000.
