The 46,000 Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers, who were recently con verted from interns to permanent and pensionable staff, are now demanding to be compensated for the time they served in internship.

The teachers have formed an association to agitate for their rights as they seek representation in either the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) or the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet). They are yet to join either of the unions.
