Kenyan teachers took to social media to share a message that US President elect Joe Bidden shared on his facebook page.
In what many teachers interpreted as a caring and sensitive incoming government, Joe Bidden made a promise to its teachers which he will implement after official swearing in in January 20th.
The incoming US President said it is time the government should improve the teachers pay inline with their duty.
“Its long past time we pay teachers what they deserve. The work they do is of extreme national importance and their salaries should reflect that,” said Biden.
