Government Urges Teachers to Soften Stance Amid Strike.

Parents and students in Kakamega purchased learning materials. Schools reopened after a strike called by the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet).

The government and parents pressured to end the strike. Kuppet has directed its members to stay away from classrooms.

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos urged Kuppet to reconsider their position. He emphasized the importance of maintaining the academic calendar. This is especially crucial during the critical third term.

Kuppet, led by Secretary-General Akelo Misori, assured teachers that their jobs are protected by law during the strike. The union’s demands include teacher confirmations, promotions, and improved medical coverage.

They highlighted that the strike is legally protected. They criticized the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for not addressing the issues raised.

Kuppet also addressed concerns about principals pressuring teachers to attend school, stating that no teaching would occur during the strike.

Kuppet’s National Secretary of Secondary Schools, Edward Obwocha, acknowledged a meeting with Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua. He viewed the meeting as a positive step towards resolving the dispute.

The union remains firm in its stance. It emphasizes that the strike is legally compliant. The strike is necessary to solve the issues affecting teachers.

The government has called to end the strike. Despite this, Kuppet continues to advocate for the rights and interests of all teachers. This advocacy is regardless of their union affiliation.
