1. CPG UPDATES
Career progression will be scrapped at the end of June 2026. TSC has been holding public participation sittings where teachers from various counties were accorded an opportunity to present their views on the review. Equally, the national office presented their views.
2. As a branch, we are soon launching the information management system. This will streamline communication between the union and the members on a wide variety of issues and also help to monitor career progression/stagnation of teachers.
3. Plans are underway to purchase an office for the union. Since this requires approval from the secretary general of the union, consultations and involvement of different stakeholders are ongoing. The acquisition of a new office will improve the public image of the union and enhance the coordination of the union's activities and operations.
4. The union, through the national leadership, secured Ksh8.4B for the 2nd phase of the CBA from 1st July 2026. The union is still negotiating for the remaining Ksh8.4B, as it was declared by the president during a State House visit in 2024 to make it Ksh16 B.
5. The union pushed for confirmation of 44k interns, but the government agreed to confirm 20000 interns. However, the push to confirm the remaining 24000 interns is still on.
6. Kuppet Nairobi Branch was the first branch to hold a meeting with the Nairobi SHA regional officials handling Mwalimu cover to address challenges faced by teachers whenever they sought for medical services.
As a result of our joint meeting, we established SHA HELP DESK, a joint initiative between Kuppet Nairobi, Knut Nairobi, and SHA Nairobi regional office. Since its establishment, the SHA help desk has been instrumental in addressing issues faced by teachers when they visit the hospitals in almost real time. The initiative was a game changer when it comes to addressing the medical welfare of our teachers.
In case you face any challenge while seeking medical attention in a SHA approved hospitals kindly reach out to the Executive Secretary (0720 539 011), Chairman, Treasurer, or any other BEC member via text message or WhatsApp, capturing your TSC no, name of the hospital, and the issue at hand for a quick response.
The union van is available for use by the teachers on request. In case of need, kindly contact the Executive Secretary, Chairman, or the Treasurer for guidance or booking.
The majority of the teachers who got employed in January and had salary arrears have already received their dues through union intervention.
The union has effectively handled 12 disciplinary issues by advocating for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms while at the same time encouraging strict adherence to professional ethics in our institutions.
