Nakuru Girls High School has been closed indefinitely following a student unrest that resulted in destruction of property, including end-of-term examination materials.
According to the school’s principal, Rose Menjo, the incident occurred at around 9:30 pm after evening studies (prep) when a group of students caused a disturbance within the school compound.
In a statement to parents on Wednesday, Menjo said during the chaos, students reportedly broke into the examination and evaluation room, destroying all end-of-term examination papers prepared for all classes.
Several window panes were also shattered.
“The extent of the damages will be assessed by the State Department of Public Works today, July 23, 2025. The situation in the school has been contained and all the students are safe,” she said.
She further announced the immediate closure of the institution:
“The school closes today, July 23, 2025 at 8am till further communication. Please make arrangements to facilitate your daughter's travel,” she said.
The school administration is expected to work with relevant government departments to assess the damage and determine the next course of action.
