What you need to know:

  • The TSC requires Sh13.5 billion to pay teachers the second and final phase of the deal signed in August last year.
  •  A strike in the final term of the school year would derail preparations for the KCSE exam and the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment.

The two main teachers’ unions have jointly written to the employer with a raft of demands they want met within seven days failing which they will set in motion the process for a nationwide strike starting August 26, when schools open for the third term.

A strike in the final term of the school year would derail preparations for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam and the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment. This will be a cold welcome for the new Cabinet Secretary for Education, who is expected to be Julius Migos Ogamba following the approval of his nomination by the National Assembly.
