Earlier this afternoon, the Kenya National Union Of Teachers has called Off the strike initially planned for Monday, 26th August, 2024.

We are most grateful to our teachers and their leaders for their selfless act of patriotism, which prioritises the best interest of learners,

We asure our teachers of the Government’s genuine commitment to addresing all their legitimate Concerns, notwithstanding the limiting fiscal space within which we are operating as a country.

Following talks between the Teachers Service Commission and the unions, the Government has, for instance, resources for the implementation of the 2nd phase Of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement, with effect from July, 2024.

The Government has also provided resources for retooling teachers for the implementation Of the Competency-Based Curriculum.

Through a consultative approach with all stakeholders, we will work together to achieve a stisfactory resolution of all outstanding matters, to enhance a conducive and favourable working environment for our dedicated teachers.

In this regard, therefore, parents and guardians are advised to ensure that their children report to their respective schools for the third term, in accordance with the school calendar.

As earlier notified, the Ministry has already disbursed Ksh. 21.8 as capitation to all basic education institutions to facilitate a seamless resumption of school operations.
