Abstract

This article analyses the factors influencing the attitude of secondary school teachers in Nairobi. The findings are based on data collected in a three months field study. 30 interviews supplemented by questionnaires and observation show that due to the principle of equal pay for equal work the younger male teachers suffer from relative deprivation in status and are therefore the least motivated and the most likely to change the profession. An explanation can be found in their socio-economic situation and in the incompatibility of male expectations with career opportunities. In this context, direct working conditions don't seem to have a significant influence on teachers' attitude.
