Kenyan Teachers Mount Nationwide Strike, Schools Forced to Closed

Kenyan teachers have begun a nationwide strike leaving more than eight million students without lessons and forcing more than 18,000 public schools closed.

Teachers opted to take part in the strike following the collapse of pay negotiations, an issue that had already been addressed by the Kenya National Union of Teachers and the Kenyan government.

According to the secretary general of KNUT “the strike has been 100% successful.”
