The pay proposals, which will be subjected to negotiations with the TSC also push for the highest paid teacher to pocket Sh289,856 per month.
It is double the Sh144,928 currently paid monthly to the super earners in job group R.
The proposal to more than double the salary of the lowest paid teachers in job group G targets a section that covers a majority in the 290,000 workforce.
In addition to the salary raise, teachers also want two additional grades S and T introduced to correspond with those in the civil service.
KNUT has gone back to the initial demand that TSC later controversially countered with a 50-60 per cent pay rise offer that the Government, however, rejected, sparking a nationwide strike.
Teachers called off the strike after the Industrial Court assumed arbitration of the dispute and handed tutors a first-round victory by upholding the award, but which the Government successfully petitioned the Court of Appeal to scrap.
