Teachers in Kenya are divided over whether to plan a strike that is scheduled to begin today, Monday, August 26.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) disagree that the strike will end, while the others say they will continue.
The two teachers' unions are ready to go on strike on Monday, August 26, as they describe the poor treatment of their members.
However, KNUT withdraws from the strike.
According to teachers, the strike is aimed at delaying promotions and improving working conditions.
This strike took place at a time when schools in Kenya are preparing to resume classes for the third semester after a long gap.
Around May 2024, Kenya's President Williams Ruto will announce a further postponement of the resumption of school classes for the children in Di Kontri.
In his address to the nation, which gave time to the counter-capital Nairobi, the President said that the reopening of schools in the second semester would be postponed.
According to President Ruto, schools in Kenya will remain closed until further notice due to severe flooding in the region.
But later, classes will resume and students will return to class to complete the second semester.

KUPPET, which is responsible for primary school education, and the National Board of Directors will hold an important meeting on Sunday.
During the meeting, according to local media reports, 68 union members voted in favor of going on strike.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for Kenya met with the union but did not reach a conclusion in favour of KUPPET.
