The Ministry of Education has launched investigations into circumstances under which an examination centre was turned into a hospital despite the school’s registration still being valid. At least 54 Form Four students who had registered to sit Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) at the school are now staring at a bleak future following the closure of the community institution.

Another 50 students in Forms One, Two and Three have also been affected by the move. The students from Highway Secondary and their parents are in a dilemma after the school was turned into a health facility, with a big signage, Kisumu Heart Centre, on it.
