Moi Girls High School in Eldoret has been closed indefinitely following protests Wednesday morning, in which students accused their school principal of ‘arrogance’.
The learners have until tomorrow to vacate the premises.
“Due to the current unrest in school, you are required to pick your daughter before the end of today,” Education Director Gitonga Mbaka wrote in a memo.
Students went on the rampage this morning demanding the transfer of school Principal Christine Chumba.
They blocked the school's gate for hours before they were addressed by Uasin Gishu County education officials.
