Parents who continue to send their children during this period do so at their own risk.

He urged parents and principals to exercise due diligence before engaging in what he termed the TSC\u2019s \u201cmischievous arrangement\u201d of issuing threats to teachers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe ask parents and principals to conduct due diligence and refrain from participating in this deceptive scheme by the TSC that involves threatening teachers,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Misori, the ongoing strike has evolved into a larger struggle for teachers\u2019 rights, especially regarding their career progression. <em>\u201cThis industrial action has now transformed into a struggle. Without a review of career progression, the situation remains untenable,\u201d<\/em> he asserted.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that even when teachers have loans to pursue further education, the current education system demands that teachers possess research skills. <em>\u201cTeachers with master\u2019s and PhD degrees will significantly contribute to this country,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<p>Misori emphasized that when teachers move from one grade to another, their status is elevated, yet the employer has refused to acknowledge this elevation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is calling on parents and school principals across Kenya to withdraw students from schools as the teachers\u2019 strike escalates.
