Learning at Bandari Maritime Academy in Mombasa came to a standstill on Monday, March 17, after students clashed with police in running battles while protesting over a range of issues.
Armed with placards, the students staged demonstrations outside the institution, decrying poor management and the alleged issuance of substandard certificates.
According to the students, the school's management was also disrupting learning activities due to its alleged failure to pay lecturers, who in response, boycotted classes, leaving students in limbo.
The students also raised concerns over the credibility of their certification, claiming that the certificates issued by the college were not internationally recognised, thus hindering their chances of securing employment, particularly abroad.
