TEACHERS SE) COMMISSIO
1. On August 21, 2024, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC)
held joint talks with the key trade unions (KNUT, KUPPET
and KUSNET) with a view to averting the planned industrial
action called by their union officials. During the talks, the TSC
announced that the Government had released funds for the
implementation of the 2! phase of the CBA with effect from
July 2024

June 26, 2024. Following the industrial action, the TSC has
today held bi-partite negotiations with the union with a view
to ending the work boycott through Alternative Dispute
Resolution as provided for in the Recognition Agreement
between the parties. To this end, and after a day-long meeting, we are happy to
report to the nation that we have reached an amicable
settlement, which will enable our teachers resume duty
immediately.

pleased to confirm that the Government provided funds for
the implementation of the 2»! phase of the CBA with effect

the provisions of the 2021-2025 CBA with the teacher unions.
