KUPPET SG Akelo Misori Announces Week Two of Teachers’ Strike

The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has vowed to continue its nationwide teachers’ strike, with Secretary General Akelo Misori stating that the strike has evolved into a larger struggle for justice within the education sector.

Following a National Executive Council meeting held in Nairobi, Misori expressed deep frustration with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), accusing it of undermining the Ministry of Labor’s role in mediating labor disputes.

Misori highlighted that KUPPET had followed all legal procedures to initiate the strike, but TSC had disregarded its conciliatory duties. He criticized TSC for using punitive measures against the union and its members rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue.

He emphasized that the union’s demands go beyond mere salary increments, focusing instead on critical issues such as the review of career progression frameworks and the recognition of teachers’ academic advancements.

Strike to Continue

During the meeting, KUPPET’s leadership noted that the strike has effectively disrupted school operations nationwide, with teachers committed to staying home until their demands are met.

Misori pointed out that many principals have been misled by TSC into keeping schools open, warning that this approach is risky, particularly with unqualified staff handling students.

He called on parents and school administrators to exercise caution and avoid engaging in what he termed as “mischievous arrangements” by TSC.

“You cannot keep students in school with teachers who are casuals. The teachers who are known and who are qualified and competent to handle these students are the ones who know. So the parents who are risking the continued stay of the the children in school, KUPPET is not responsible.”

Misori Challenges Government and TSC

Misori also challenged the TSC and the government to respect the negotiation process as outlined by international labor conventions.

He criticized TSC’s reluctance to engage in meaningful discussions and its failure to recognize the contributions of teachers who have advanced their education. Misori warned that KUPPET would not back down, stating that the strike is a fight against longstanding injustices in the education sector.

In conclusion, Misori reiterated that the union is committed to correcting these injustices and will continue its industrial action until significant progress is made. The strike, he declared, is not an act of defiance but a necessary step to ensure fair treatment for teachers across Kenya.
