Kenyatta University exams rescheduled due to dons’ strike

Kenyatta University has rescheduled end of semester examinations that were set to start on Monday due to the ongoing strike by lecturers.

Acting Vice-Chancellor Paul Wainaina said the university is in talks with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders over the issue.

"The university management calls upon all students to remain calm as the issue is addressed," said Prof Wainaina in a memo to students and staff.

He said a new schedule of the semester calendar will be communicated as soon as possible.

The lecturers’ strike which started on November 1 has paralysed learning in Kenyan public universities.

The lecturers are demanding the implementation of their 2013-2017 collective bargaining agreement which was signed early 2017.
