Hire Us Permanently: Migori JSS Interns Tell Government.
Junior Secondary School interns in Migori now tell the government to hire them on a permanent and pensionable basis. The interns argue that the government lacks the goodwill to engage them permanently.
While speaking after meeting with the Kenya National Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), the interns lamented that for fairness to prevail, the government needs to hire them on permanent and pensionable terms since they have already completed training on the new CBC curriculum.
According to the Migori Teachers Union chairman, Orwa Jasolo, the government has failed to honor its promises to hire teachers under permanent and pensionable terms.
In addition, he argued that the government should reconsider its approach or risk teachers failing to attend classes next year. He indicated that failure to conform the interns next year will result in industrial action.

Furthermore, some teachers complain that educational authorities are compelling them to teach subjects for which they did not receive training. An unnamed teacher contends that the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) mandates one or two educators to manage as many as fourteen learning areas.
In conclusion, the teachers have urged the government to act to avoid a strike next year.
