Teremi High School in Bungoma County has been indefinitely closed following student unrest that happened Monday night.
Reports indicate that the students were outraged by the declining performance in the KCSE examination since a new principal joined the school about four years ago.
As a way of making their anger obvious, they stormed the principal’s home damaging his property including his house and vehicle.
Images circulating online depicted a badly damaged vehicle with the windscreen and glass windows completely crashed. His house, on the other hand, bore evidence of being stoned with all the window panes broken.
The principal escaped by whisker after police officers arrived and fired shots in the air, dispersing the rowdy students.
In the recently released 2024 KCSE examination, the school scored a mean grade of C (6.0618) recording only one A grade out of 651 students who sat for the exam.
213 of the students achieved the minimum university entry grade of C+ (plus). However, a total of 36 candidates were awarded a Y in the examination.
A week ago, it was reported that parents stormed the school seeking answers over a large number of Y grades, an incident that has never been witnessed before.
