Parents have started to feel the heat over widespread indiscipline that has led to burning of dormitories and classrooms.

At Itierio Boys High School, the first school to be torched, parents have now been hit with a Sh8 million bill to rebuild seven dormitories that were burnt down by students two months ago. This translates to Sh10,000 per student.
