The court has ordered teachers to go back to class even as the dispute over the 50-60 per cent salary increment is heard by the Court of Appeal.

Justice Nelson Abuodha of the Employment and Labour Relations Court declined to lift the orders suspending the strike for 90 days and for the second time ordered the teachers to resume duty immediately.
