Junior Secondary Teachers Demand Autonomy and Clarity on Medical Benefits - September 2025

Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers in Kenya are advocating for full autonomy and independent leadership and governance. Teachers in Kericho County are demanding separation from primary school administration to improve learning environments and establish greater autonomy for the JSS curriculum and operations. This push for self-governance aims to address specific concerns within the junior secondary education sector. In a separate but related demand, teachers are seeking clarification on their medical benefits under the proposed new social health authority scheme.
