Last Sunday, a few minutes before midnight, police in Bungoma received calls about unrest at Cardinal Otunga Girls’ High School.

The students had gone on the rampage, smashing windows, hurling stones apparently because they were unhappy with the principal’s declaration that anyone who scores below grade C would be punished.
