Nyoro’s intervention comes as JSS teachers across the country continue to experience prolonged uncertainty regarding their employment status. The confirmation process, which typically should have been concluded, has faced numerous delays due to various logistical and administrative hurdles. This has created anxiety and unrest among teachers who are critical to the new educational curriculum.

The meeting between the TSC and the JSS representatives is expected to set timelines for the confirmation process. Faith Kogei, who has been an advocate for teacher rights, stressed the urgency of the matter, noting that many teachers have been working under difficult conditions, with unclear terms of service.
