School principals have abruptly released students ahead of the scheduled mid-term break for the second term, as the country braces for another wave of anti-government protests led by defiant Gen Z youths.
Fearing for the safety of learners, school administrators began sending students home from Friday, despite the Ministry of Education's calendar indicating that the mid-term break officially begins on Wednesday, June 25.
Yesterday, Nairobi's Central Business District (CBD) was awash with students in school uniforms crowding bus terminals, a scene that has become unsettlingly familiar during periods of political unrest. "We closed yesterday, and the school administration released us this morning.
We'll return on June 29," said a student from Machakos School.
