Teachers, through the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), have announced a nationwide strike beginning on March 3, 2025, should the government fail to address their grievances.

Addressing the press on Wednesday, February 26, KUPPET officials in Kisii County accused the government of failing to resolve the health crisis facing teachers across the country.

The officials, led by KUPPET Kisii Branch Chairperson Laban Ooko, revealed that thousands of teachers were unable to receive treatment at various hospitals due to inconsistencies in their medical insurance.

While venting frustrations over the teachers' medical scheme, Ooko called on all teachers across the country to halt learning activities from next week and come out to demand their rights.
