Aims and Objectives of the KNUT
The KNUT was founded as both a trade union and professional organisation, to unite all teachers of Kenya and look after their welfare and professional interests. In the process the KNUT also promotes educational development generally, and the teaching profession, in particular.
The aims and objectives of the Union are contained in Article II of its constitution, and falls into seventeen clauses. An analysis of the clauses reveals that they fall into five functional areas, namely:
(i) Uniting teachers of all grades, and providing a forum for their cooperation, and cooperation with members of similar unions and bodies within and outside Kenya;
(ii) Fighting for improved terms and conditions of service for teachers, protecting teachers’ interests as workers generally – including legal representation in disputes.
(iii) Promoting programmes aimed at improving teachers’ welfare or socio-economic status;
(iv) Contributing, directly or through teachers, or members, to professional work in teaching and development of education services in Kenya.
(v) Mobilization of resources and acquisition of assets and funds, to ensure effective functioning of the Union, for the benefit of the members.
