Junior Secondary Teachers in Kwale and Narok Demand Permanent Employment, Threaten Strike - November 2025

Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Kwale and Narok counties are threatening to strike if the government fails to offer them permanent employment contracts. Supported by the Kenya Union of Post Primary Teachers (KUPPET), teachers in Kwale are pressing for permanent employment after completing one year of service. In Narok, teachers are pushing for an agreement made two years ago. The educators have raised concerns over their autonomy and employment status. They have issued an ultimatum that they will not teach in January unless their employment status is changed to permanent and pensionable.
