Kenya 🇰🇪 Teachers Are The Most Well Paid In East Africa

Image
ANALYSIS By Dorris Otieno Kenyan teachers are not only the best paid in East Africa, but also earn almost 12 times more than the country's average pay, a comparative study by Nation Newsplex and the Institute of Economic Affairs reveals. Even as teachers go on strike for the 12th time since their first industrial action in 1962, the analysis, which compares teachers' salaries in Kenya with those of their peers in select African countries , also finds that the lowest-paid teacher in Kenya earns more than the highest-paid teacher in Uganda. Uganda and South Africa were chosen as countries against which to compare wages of teachers because they have the most up-to-date data against which the comparison could be made. While Tanzania was not included in the comparison because only average pay for the year 2011 was available, even its figures indicated that Kenyan teachers earn more than their Tanzanian counterparts. The highest paid Kenyan teacher earns almost 12 times more than the...

Why Is Social Media Marketing Important?

Image
Prior to the rise of the internet, most businesses depended on offline marketing tactics. As the web expanded, many businesses ventured online by creating a website to represent their company. These sites were developed to rank high in search engines for specific keywords. For example, a dentist located in Long Island, NY, would create a site which used the keywords “dentist in Long Island” and try to get other websites to post links back to his site in order to make search engines like Google show the site in the results when web searchers typed in those keywords. This is known as SEO, or “search engine optimization”. Locating a business website was soon not enough for many online searchers, who wanted to not only find a dentist in Long Island, but to find out what people were saying about the dentist’s practice. Review sites sprang up all over the web, but these were easily manipulated by businesses posting positive reviews for themselves and negative ...

Why Social Media Marketing And Management?

Image
One of the fastest growing job markets today is in the field of social media! The web has become the first place most people look to make purchasing decisions, and they depend on social media for advice and guidance from their peers.

Image
Public security and policing services are provided by the Tanzania Police Force and the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Services (TISS). Interpol has a presence in Tanzania and is based in Dar es Salaam. There are few security firms operating in Tanzania relative to the market potential. These private security firms provide a broad range of services and products to businesses and householders, employing about one million guards nationally. Factors such as rapid gains in economic activity, rising personal incomes, foreign direct investment activities, and the increasing belief that public safety forces are overburdened or unable to provide sufficient protection, are positive signs in this sector. High increase of banks imply more opportunity to provide cash-in-transit security, high speed construction of office facilities indicates more room for security providers, and the influx of ...
