School management directed parents and guardians to collect their children as authorities worked to restore order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration did not disclose details of the disturbance or the extent of any damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loreto joins a growing list of institutions affected by unrest, including Lenana School in Nairobi and Barding Secondary School in Siaya County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Lenana School, students reportedly protested over the organisation of the school&#8217;s annual Maroon Festival, expressing dissatisfaction with the attendance of invited schools, entertainment arrangements, and the management of funds contributed towards the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unrest resulted in damage to classrooms, laboratories, the library, the school hall, and CCTV infrastructure, prompting the administration to close the institution indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The developments have heightened concerns about student wellbeing and the overall school climate across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-communication-gaps\">Communication gaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Education stakeholders have increasingly linked unrest incidents to communication gaps between school administrations and learners, examination pressure, mental health challenges, and inadequate grievance-resolution mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitok said the ministry would strengthen engagement between students and school leadership to identify and address emerging concerns before they escalate into unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is also expected to undertake safety assessments in boarding schools as investigations continue into the Utumishi Girls dormitory fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calls for comprehensive safety reforms have intensified, with stakeholders urging authorities to review dormitory infrastructure, emergency escape systems, fire detection equipment, and learner welfare programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent incidents have also prompted the Consortium of Secondary Schools Alumni Associations of Kenya (COSSAAK) to demand a nationwide audit of dormitory safety standards and emergency preparedness systems in all boarding schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisation warned that recurring fires and unrest incidents point to broader systemic challenges requiring urgent intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe recurrence of such incidents within a short period points to a wider national concern that cannot be treated as isolated misfortune,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education PS Julius Bitok has ruled out an early midterm break despite student unrest, saying learning will continue as the government
