The principal of Kangundo Secondary School issued a show-cause letter to a teacher who was in hospital fighting for his life. She assumed that the teacher had absconded from duty due to their disagreements at school the previous day. A few days later, the teacher passed away, leaving the letter on the table. After learning of his death, the principal threatened teachers who wanted to attend the burial. It took the intervention of KUPPET officials, who came to the school and facilitated transport for fellow teachers to attend the burial. That's how most women operate when they taste small power.
At Gilgil Hills Academy, Nakuru, a pupil went missing on Friday 27th March 2026 and was found dead in the school fishpond. The class teacher and the principal gave conflicting reports where the class teacher said that the child fell ill, and was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital. The principal on the other hand reported that the child drowned in the school fish pond. The family of the diseased have stormed the school demanding answers.





Kibaki declared free Primary Education but didn't invest in it. Uhuru and Matiangi were rudderless with their ill-equipped CBC and skewed school infrastructure funding. Kenya's Education sector is stronger under President @WilliamsRuto than ever before because of focussed investments and reforms. Schools infrastructure being build even as teachers are being recruited. CBE is firming up. HELB is reformed for better access to University Education. BBG is moving Kenya to the first world!
