During recent discussions, the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) ended its strike following the TSC’s announcement of the initial 51,000 promotions, though approximately 130,000 teachers remain affected by stagnation. However, the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) continues its strike, advocating for the conversion of Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers to permanent and pensionable status, as well as a review of the professional development criteria, which they believe have contributed to the delay in promotions.
