Ministry of Education officials assess the damage caused fire that razed a dormitory at Amabuko Mixed Secondary School in Kisii on November 3, 2021. The night inferno destroyed property of unknown value with at least 50 students affected.
Teachers in some schools are reported to be sleeping in shifts in a bid to stop the dormitory infernos.
National Assembly Education Committee has demanded for a comprehensive report from the ministry on the causes of school fires.
The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has accused Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha of blocking requests by principals to close schools and save property from arsonists.
This comes as parents begin to feel the effects of student unrest.
