From the article:
Kenya’s university lecturers are reporting increasing cases of burnout due to their escalating workload and low pay, a new survey by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) shows.
The findings of the study point to deteriorating work conditions in the country’s public and private universities which could further dent the country’s higher education credentials, long plagued by deteriorating quality and underfunding.
The study was conducted in June-July by the UNESCO International Insitute for Capacity Building in Africa (UNESCO-IICBA) in collaboration with researchers in Kenya.
