Learners protests is becoming a anational crisis.[File,Standard]
A group of 165 parents of Grade 10 students at Ambira High School has moved to the High Court seeking orders to stop the school from charging each learner Sh33,000 as a condition for readmission following a student strike.
The parents argue that the levy, imposed after a destructive unrest that allegedly caused damage estimated at Sh50 million, unfairly punishes students who were not involved in the incident and violates their constitutional right to education.
Led by Victor Otieno, the parents filed a constitutional petition before the High Court's Constitutional and Human Rights Division yesterday, accusing the school of unlawfully locking out Grade 10 learners over the disputed charge.
