Several students from Bishop Sulumeti Girls Secondary School in Kakamega County were hospitalized following the blaze during unrest over a lack of water.
The incident adds to a nationwide wave of school strikes and
fires, including over 30 closures and a deadly May blaze that killed 16 at
Utumishi Girls Academy.
Education leaders are now ordering safety audits and more teacher supervision to address underlying issues like overcrowding and poor communication.
