Teachers are set to embark on a nationwide strike on Monday, following a breakdown in negotiations with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).

The decision comes after TSC failed to address several key demands made by the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT).

In a joint statement KUPPET and KNUT Secretary Generals Akelo Misori and Henry Collins Oyoo expressed disappointment with the TSC's lack of commitment to resolving the outstanding issues.
