Teachers July Pay Having laid out the legal provisions which confirm that the KNUT strike became unprotected and therefore illegal after the 2 July 2013 Industrial Court order, Government states as follows: • Teachers agreed to extend school terms by a total of 2 weeks (one at the end of second term and one at the end of third term) in order to make up for time lost. • Teachers further agreed to carry out extra lessons during the second term to bring schools up to speed with the time lost. • In consideration of the above, Government has decided to pay teachers their withheld July salaries on the basis that they will teach for the time they were illegally absent from school. • Government urges KNUT to work with the Teachers Service Commission to ensure that teachers’ attendance in schools improves beyond the bleak picture of 50 per cent painted in a recent report. • KNUT agrees to work very closely with the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to support the implementation of the laptop project so as to ensure the integration of ICT into the entire education sector in the country. • Further, KNUT agrees to work with the Teachers Service Commission and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in the delivery of quality education standards and services. Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, CGH President of the Republic of Kenya & Commander-in-Ch ief of the Kenya Defense Forces
