Kenyan teachers, represented by the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), are threatening to escalate nationwide strikes starting Monday, May 4, if their demands are not met by President William Ruto.

• KUPPET demands the confirmation of intern teachers to permanent positions and a salary increase from their current Ksh17,000 per month.
• Key grievances include the autonomy of Junior Secondary Schools (JSS), delayed payments for examination invigilators, and concerns over the Social Health Authority (SHA) scheme's coverage and out-of-pocket expenses.
• Teachers also seek the implementation of the president's promise to condense the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) into two years.
