Court asks teachers to call off strike

Kenya: The Industrial Court in Nairobi gave the teachers' strike a new spin when it directed teachers to resume lessons and asked trade unions, Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) to file the dispute matters before it.

Judge Mathews Nduma Nderi asked the unions to call off the strike which has paralysed learning in the country's public schools and stopped any victimisation of the teachers who have down tools since last week.
