The fire incident at Utumishi girls secondary school in Gilgil is the most recent tragic and unfortunate incident that claimed 16 lives and a dozen others left with injuries. Close to two weeks later many other schools have reported fire outbreaks within the school compounds.
A lot of reasons have been said to be behind the fire, group influence, overcrowded schools leading to pressure of performing on mean resources, nonparticipation of students in major decision in school and harsh disciplinary measures once a mistake has happened could be some of the causes of the unrest.
The burden of building the properties back is passed down to parents, a lot of class time lost In movement between school and home, hospital and burial expenses incurred. When we will listen to the students or bring back corporal punishment to straighten behaviors.
