Ng'iya Girls High School was closed indefinitely after students rioted to push for the removal of one of their teachers.

Chalbi Boys High School in Maikona, Marsabit County, was closed following an attack on six non-local teachers by students on Tuesday morning. 

Kisumu Girls High School was closed after students boycotted classes and damaged property, accusing the management of high-handedness and running down the institution.

According to a teacher at Kisumu Girls, the students destroyed school property while chanting slogans against the new principal.
