Review policy to motivate Kenya's teachers

On March 3, 1985, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher finally got her victory when the National Union of Miners (NUM) delegates voted for an orderly return to work the following Monday. This was almost exactly a year after the miners’ strike had started.

This strike pitted Thatcher who used such harsh words as “enemies within”, communists and revolutionaries against the striking workers and Arthur Scargil the union chair with Bully-boy tactics whose aim was to unseat the Tories. It was a necessary victory though not popular as it was a flawed and bitterly contested one.
