Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has confirmed the official kick-off of the teachers’ strike Monday when schools will be officially reopening for the third term.
The decision was made during the union’s National Governing Council meeting where they endorsed the industrial action.
This is after 68 members voted in favor of the boycott.
KUPPET says they had met to review developments on the nationwide teachers’ strike, which will go on as planned after the government failed to address their members’ grievances by the expiry of the Strike Notice.
The teachers union Secretary General Akelo Misori says the union will mobilize its members to fight hard for their rights until their grievances are addressed.
KUPPET warned parents against leaving learners in the hands of Boards of Management (BOM) teachers during the strike.
