The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has moved swiftly to avert a potential crisis in the education sector in the North Rift region after an initial threat by teachers.
KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu on Thursday, February 6, assured teachers in the North Rift that all their issues would be addressed, amid concerns over medical cover.
Oyuu's swift response came days after teachers gave their employer, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), 24 hours to respond to their concerns lest they would kick off their industrial action. According to the teachers unions the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), the tutors have been unable to access treatment after their insurance provider reduced the number of accessible healthcare facilities.
