KNUT Denies Intimidation Claims of JSS Teachers in Primary Schools.

Following a report by the Kenya Union of Primary School Education Teachers (KUPPET), the Makueni branch of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Executive Secretary, Benson Ndambuki, refuted allegations that Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers are being intimidated by primary school head teachers.

He stated that all teachers in comprehensive schools are treated fairly and emphasized that if any issues arise, they should be resolved amicably. According to him, there have been no official reports of such incidents.

KUPPET highlighted cases of JSS teachers facing intimidation in certain schools, specifically mentioning a well-known school in Makindu.

Ndambuki dismissed these claims, arguing that such accusations create unnecessary tension in schools where JSS teachers and their primary school counterparts have been coexisting harmoniously.

“All our teachers in comprehensive schools are treated well. I can assure you that, and if anything, else, it should be sorted amicably, of which we don’t have reports on the same,” Ndambuki.

Ndambuki urged stakeholders to remain focused on implementing the decisions and policies of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms. He pointed out that, with grades 7, 8, and 9 now incorporated into primary schools, it is essential to maintain unity and commitment to educational progress.

The Role of Heads of Institutions (HOIs)

Union officials reiterated that school heads are effectively managing institutions and would not allow external interference in internal administrative affairs.

Ndambuki also called on KUPPET to join efforts in advocating for increased government funding for the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), modern teacher training programs, and infrastructure development for grade 10 in 2026.

He further noted that comprehensive school heads are actively implementing career pathways to facilitate the transition to senior schools in 2026.

He encouraged JSS teachers and their primary school counterparts to work collaboratively under the leadership of head teachers in comprehensive schools to ensure a smooth transition.

Regarding the specific case of the Makindu school head, Ndambuki asserted that the institution ranks among the top ten in the country in terms of competency at all levels.

He emphasized that personal and political differences should not interfere with discussions on education, particularly when they involve centers of excellence that benefit children.

He concluded by affirming that the leadership of the Makindu school head remains beyond reproach and should not be questioned, as their conduct and competence in school management are well established.
