Photo of Kabianga boys locked out of school over unfinished holiday assignment goes viral

A photo of a section of students from Kabianga boys high school, Kericho sitting outside the institution over unfinished holiday assignment has got the attention of netizens.

The boys were made to sit on the grass outside the school and did their assignments on their laps.

Speaking to Nation, the school principal Mr. Joash Aloo said that the institution had agreed with the parents to supervise their children do the assignments during the holiday.

“We had an Annual General Meeting on August 2 in which parents asked us to find a way to make the students study during holidays. We then agreed to be giving them assignments so that parents will supervise,” said Mr Oloo.

“Kabianga was once an academic giant and all stakeholders are determined to take it up the chart. The agreement we had about vocational studies during AGM is one of it, that is why parents and the boys are not complaining about this punishment,” he added.

Only 100 students out of 1,530 failed to do the assignments.
