The Architectural Association of Kenya (AAK) has proposed guidelines to improve the design, construction, and management of school dormitories.
This is in response to safety and regulatory failures exposed by the tragic fire at Utumishi Girls Academy, which left 16 students dead and others injured.
This, even as the government ordered the nationwide audit of boarding schools amid recurring and surging school fires. Hillside Endarasha Academy was also in the spotlight last year, claiming 21 lives.
