After the dynamic strike of teachers in Kenya, their country’s Supreme Court deemed their request fair and ordered a pay increase of at least 50%. The government, on the other hand questions the court ruling, while the President, Uhuru Kenyatta, claims that this would harm the state budget. Therefore, it proceeded to the closure of public schools in order to put pressure on teachers, so that they back off from their demands, while at the same time, the private schools of the country are operating normally. Teachers, on the other hand, continue their struggle and call on the government to respect the court decision.
