Moi University First-Years Face Frustration as Lecturers’ Strike Delays Campus Life
Moi University first-year students are experiencing intense frustration as a prolonged lecturers’ strike has prevented them from setting foot in lecture halls since admission. These students, full of anticipation and excitement to begin their university journeys, have been left in limbo, waiting for classes to resume amidst the ongoing labor dispute.
Since their admission, the first-years have missed out on critical aspects of campus life, from in-person learning to forming connections with peers. Many students expressed feeling isolated, as the strike continues to disrupt their education and keeps them away from the much-anticipated campus experience. The lecturers’ strike, largely due to unresolved issues surrounding pay and working conditions, has halted in-person classes for months, leaving the students’ academic progress uncertain.
One affected student shared, “I had looked forward to meeting new friends and learning from experienced lecturers. Instead, we’re just waiting without knowing when we’ll really begin.” This sense of frustration is widespread among students, who have struggled with the lack of structure and engagement, with some questioning how the delays might impact their degree timelines.
While university management has been in discussions to resolve the issue, no clear solution has yet been offered. The students and their families are now calling on both the university administration and the lecturers’ union to reach a compromise to end the disruption. This would allow first-years to finally access the education and experiences they deserve.
As the strike continues, these students are left hoping that a resolution is near, allowing them to start their academic journey with the quality and stability they expected when joining Moi University.
