Litein Boys High School has been closed indefinitely following unrest within the institution. Parents and guardians were on Monday asked to collect their children after the school administration, in consultation with the Ministry of Education, resolved to suspend learning until further notice.
According to sources, the decision came after a series of disciplinary incidents that disrupted normal learning. Though details remain unclear, reports indicate that tension had been brewing among students over grievances related to school management and daily routines.
Kericho County education officials have confirmed the closure, noting that the safety of students and staff remains the top priority. “We cannot allow learning to continue under an environment of unrest. Dialogue will take place to restore normalcy before the school is reopened,” one official said.
Parents have been urged to remain calm and cooperate with authorities as investigations into the cause of the unrest continue. The Ministry of Education is expected to issue a formal statement in the coming days, outlining steps that will be taken to address the issues raised by the students.
The indefinite closure has left many parents worried about the disruption to their children’s academic calendar, especially for candidates preparing for national examinations later this year.
