The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has announced plans to take the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to court following the dismissal of 742 junior secondary school (JSS) teachers. KUPPET asserts that TSC violated legal procedures by firing these teachers, who participated in a strike, without providing a chance for a disciplinary hearing. KUPPET Deputy Secretary General Moses [Last Name] highlighted that this move breaches a return-to-work agreement, which stipulated the withdrawal of all show cause letters for the striking teachers. The union is demanding that TSC reconsider their decision and transition the affected teachers to permanent and pensionable terms, emphasizing their professional commitment and the unfairness of their sudden unemployment. KUPPET is prepared to mobilize the teaching community for demonstrations if necessary.
