President William Ruto addressed over 10,000 teacher representatives at State House on Saturday regarding education reforms. The administration committed to honoring existing Collective Bargaining Agreements while allowing room for improvements. Teachers successfully negotiated reducing the CBA review cycle from four years to two years. The government agreed to harmonize school financing systems by December to address capitation fund delays.

Ruto announced doubled promotion funding from one billion to two billion shillings annually, enabling 50,000 yearly teacher promotions. Arts and Sports students will receive direct capitation starting January 2026 rather than extracurricular classification. The President directed the adoption of a first-out, first-in employment model for unemployed teaching graduates. Twenty percent of affordable housing units will be reserved for educators, recognizing their monthly 900 million shilling contributions to the housing levy. The government pledged to upgrade teacher medical coverage to match civil servant standards.
