Radicalisation, demand for school buses by students and fear of examinations have been linked to persistent unrest in secondary schools.

Cases of unrest have led to the closure of about 50 schools in 11 counties. Some 26 schools have been closed in Machakos County, nine in Nakuru, five in Busia and another four each in Embu, Busia and Bomet.
