Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed has made it clear that schools will still reopen tomorrow.
This comes a day after Knut declared that their strike is still on unless TSC meets their demands. Knut gave their strike threat in December protesting lack of promotions, performance contracting and unapproved transfers of teachers.
On Tuesday, Knut and TSC officials were supposed to hold a conciliatory meeting which the latter failed to show up.
