  1. The salaries some counties pay ECDE salaries is disgraceful to say the least. Teaching a child who has never been to school is not as easy as teaching a Form One child with 400 marks and above at Alliance. ECDE teachers deserve more than the abusive salary they get.

  2. This directly to ministry of education cs magoa.ecde teaches have been forgotten since there right have not been gatterd I e poor salaries but every now you only increase primary school salaries we urge consideration
