Recent fires in Kenyan schools have sparked significant concern over student safety, especially following a tragic incident at Hillside Endarasha Academy that resulted in the deaths of 21 students. Just days after that tragedy, Ortum Boys High School and Bukhalalire Secondary School experienced fires, with Ortum Boys seeing students evacuate hastily due to a blaze believed to have been caused by an electrical fault. Education officials are now calling for comprehensive safety inspections and enhanced protocols in response to the recurrent incidents, which have included injuries at Isiolo Girls High School. The Ministry of Education has announced plans to strengthen safety standards across all schools, amidst growing parental concerns. Investigations into the causes of these fires are ongoing, with discussions about potential negligence or failure to comply with safety regulations. The recent spate of incidents underscores the urgent need for improved safety measures in educational institutions across Kenya.
