Teachers to be Transferred to Social Health Authority (SHA) Amid Opposition - November 2025
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and teacher unions announced that Kenyan teachers are transitioning from their Minet insurance cover to the Social Health Authority (SHA). This shift, set to take effect from December 1, follows the expiration of the teachers' previous KSh 20 billion private insurance contract. However, the proposal has met with resistance. Teachers in Makueni County, led by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), are strongly opposing the government's plan. Additionally, some school headteachers are reportedly angered after their superiors approved the transfer to SHA.
