The Ministry of Education has summoned all public secondary school principals and field officers to an emergency virtual meeting.
According to reports, the aim of the meeting will be to address rising student unrest across the country.
The meeting has been scheduled for Thursday, May 14 at 8am and will be chaired by the Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok.
Reports indicate that the meeting is a postponement from the original date of May 13.
Education PS Julius Bitok to meet all High School Principals on May 14
In a May 12 circular, the PS directed all regional, county, and sub-county directors of education to ensure that all school heads attend the meeting.
Further reports indicate that the key agenda for the meeting is the growing unrest in secondary schools nationwide, with some incidents resulting in injuries, property loss and school closures.
Over recent weeks, schools have seen students staging strikes, walkouts, fires and leaving school premises at night, disrupting school operations in several counties.
On May 12, students at Kaumoni Boys High School in Makueni County allegedly set several administrative blocks on fire.
The urgent meeting convening all principals is therefore geared toward discussing solutions to restore order, safeguard learners and ensure that teaching and learning continue without disruption.
