A Kenyan primary school teacher now earns between $302 and $2,300 per month. In Tanzania, it is an average of $150 while their Ugandan counterpart can expect $102. Their colleagues in Rwanda are however only making an estimated $91 a month. Comparatively, the highest-paid professors in Uganda take home at least $1,107 a month. In Kenya, the dons are now pocketing $2,562 in basic pay while tutorial assistants get $844 after a strike last September managed to secure a significant payrise for lecturers. In Rwanda, professors are paid $2,623. A senior lecturer at a public university earns $1,440 while their junior pockets $1200 a month. But Ugandan, Rwandan and Kenyan professors are better off seeking employment in Tanzania, where the basic salary for professors starts at $3,200 and that of tutorial assistants — the lowest-paid lecturers — $1,500. theeastafrican.co.ke/news/Pay-discrepancies-for-professionals-thwart-movement-of-labour-/-/2558/1920956/-/fekexcz/-/index.html
