After the pay deal, teachers must deliver

There was a sigh of collective relief when teachers finally penned a salary deal with their employer, the Teachers Service Commission. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement is a culmination of meetings initiated by President Uhuru Kenyatta last year.

Hopefully, the deal that guarantees career growth besides increased emoluments, ushers in an era of less friction between teachers and their employer and marks an end to endless strikes that have been the norm for the past nine years.
