Education stakeholders in Nairobi have attributed the recent wave of unrest in secondary schools across the country to external influences, poor communication between learners and school administrations, congestion in boarding facilities, and challenging living conditions.
Speaking during a stakeholders' meeting convened to address the growing cases of student unrest, Nairobi County Director of Education Agwings Edwin Ongijo said authorities had intensified engagements with learners in an effort to restore calm and keep students focused on their studies.
"We are having a challenge but we are on top of things. We are moving around and talking to students and telling them what they are supposed to do. A good number have been convinced of what they need to do," said Ongijo.
