Teachers Threatens To Strike Over Delayed School Capitation

Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has reiterated it will call for a National strike should the Government not heed their calls of releasing the capitation fund meant to ensure the day to day running of the schools.

Headteachers and Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) last week raised concern over the crisis in the education sector saying that the government had only provided a fraction of capitation funds for the first term.

The union claims that most of the school heads were facing hard times including beckoning court cases by suppliers who have threatened to take any action to recover their money.

They further called for the employment of all interns into permanent and Pensionable schemes saying they were suffering silently and the number that had been slotted for employment was very low.
