KNUT calls off teachers strike to give room for talks

“If TSC agrees to implement what we have asked for, then we will have no reason for a strike. But if it fails, then it should be blamed when learning is paralysed across the country,” said Sossion. He added: “We are willing to start talks with TSC as along as it honours all our demands. The meeting we are planning will provide an opportunity to avert the teachers strike for at least one month as we decide the way forward.” Knut national treasurer John Matiangi accused TSC of going against the CBA they signed by going ahead to roll out Teacher Performance and Appraisal Development without consulting them.
“We will not accept the idea of teacher spending more time in training. TSC was to evaluate teachers once a year.”
