Kenyan teachers continue strike despite court ordered halt
Kenyan teachers continued their strike for the third day Wednesday despite a court order to suspend the work stoppage. They are demanding the implementation of the second phase of the 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement and the confirmation of about 46,000 junior secondary staff teachers as permanent and pension-worthy employees. Kenya’s Permanent Secretary for Education announced this week that the government will pay all public school teachers their July and August salary increases by Friday this week. Julius Korir is the deputy president of the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers. He tells VOA’s James Butty the teachers want the commitment on paper.
