The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is demanding urgent reforms within the Social Health Authority (SHA) medical cover for teachers, citing instances where educators are allegedly being detained in hospitals due to unpaid bills.

• KUPPET reports that at least 14 teachers are currently detained in hospitals across the country over unsettled bills, with some having already died.
• Key organizations involved are the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), and the Social Health Authority (SHA).
• KUPPET also called for the full autonomy of junior secondary schools, arguing the current administrative setup hinders the effective implementation of the Competency-Based Education (CBE).
