Kuppet calls off strike after deal with TSC, TSC has assured that no teacher will be victimized.
The deal comes as the strike, which entered its second week on Monday, prompted some schools to send learners back home.
Kuppet’s Akello Misori said further communication shall be made by the union based on the outcome of a court ruling expected on Thursday.
Kuppet has been engaging with TSC on several demands, but was yet to issue a return-to-work formula until an agreement was reached.
The agreement to end the strike has brought relief to parents and learners who have been eagerly waiting to see the situation addressed.
Kuppet and TSC representatives negotiated for a while before coming up with a solution that will benefit both parties involved.
TSC and Kuppet have always had issues but this time around they seem to have reached a deal, one that many hope is permanent and will bring peace in the education sector.
Misori called on teachers to be patient for a while longer as they await a final decision that will clarify on various issues affecting teachers and the teaching fraternity in general.
Although a return to work was yet to be announced at some schools as at now, the agreement between Kuppet and TSC could not have come at a better time, as schools prepare to reopen in full.
There are those who still harbor fear of possible repercussions after the deal that ended the strike was sealed.
It has been an anxious period for parents whose children have been home due to lack of teachers.
