University Lecturers Call Off 49-Day Strike
University lecturers across Kenya have officially called off their 49-day strike following an agreement between the lecturersβ unions and the Ministry of Education.
Under the deal, the government will settle the outstanding KSh 7.9 billion in salary arrears in two phases β KSh 3.8 billion by December 2025 and the remaining amount by July 2026. Additionally, the 2025β2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is expected to be concluded within 30 days.
The return-to-work formula paves the way for the resumption of lectures in all public universities, marking the end of a prolonged disruption to academic activities. Union leaders, however, emphasized that the government must honor the terms of the agreement to avoid future industrial action.
The Ministry of Education directs that classes resume on Monday.
