Alliance High School (AHS) has been forced to make an urgent move following revelations of horrific cases of bullying of Form One students.
The school's Board of Management on Saturday announced that it had demoted 10 prefects including the school captain and suspended six students who were accused of orchestrating the bestiality that has sparked a countrywide uproar.
The Board, through chairman Sam Ncheeri, stated that investigations had been instituted towards the Deputy Principal as they seek to address the harassment exposed in a report compiled by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Ministry of Education.
"An on-going further investigation against the Deputy Principal (Administration) has commenced, the demotion of 10 prefects including the School Captain...,” he asserted.
Ncheeri further announced that the management had already picked an acting Principal to replace former head David Kariuki, who resigned a week ago, adding that counselling sessions for the affected students had started.
Noting the magnitude of the bullying cases reported, the chairman apologised to the school fraternity promising to adequately address the issue.
“The board would like to apologise profusely to the students and the parents that these unacceptable incidents took place,” stated Ncheeri.
“We are sincerely committed to addressing the issues raised by the TSC report on a priority basis in our quest to secure the quality of education provided at the AHS,” he added.
