Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok, on Wednesday morning, chaired a consultative meeting with teachers’ unions and head teachers’ associations at Jogoo House to prepare for Saturday’s meeting with President William Ruto at State House.

The two-hour session centred on setting the agenda for the high-level talks and finalising the composition of the 10,000-member teachers’ delegation that will meet the Head of State.

In attendance were senior officials from the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (KUSNET), the Kenya Primary School Heads Association (KEPSHA), and the Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA).

The meeting resolved that KNUT would send 3,300 delegates, KUPPET 2,000, KUSNET 400, KEPSHA 2,300, and KESSHA 2,000, bringing the total to 10,000 representatives.

The upcoming State House meeting is expected to focus on issues affecting teachers, including welfare, working conditions, and the role of educators in advancing the government’s education reforms.
