Students of St.Hillary Mitamisyi secondary school in Ngomeni ward, kyuso sub-county,Kitui have vacated the learning institution claiming the current principal is intolerable .
The school that has a total of 138 students was started in 2009. However, since the said head of school was posted there in January 2020, there has been misunderstandings among the teacher and parents, students among other workers in the school .
When the school opened for the third term, the whole school resumed but shortly after, form one to form three students went home claiming mistreatment from the teacher. Only 16 form four students were left in the school.
A week ago, they also vacated the school and resumed on Tuesday to study for KCSE. However, they said if the teacher who is currently not in the school comes back, they will go home. They argued that the principal keeps abusing them, has sacked all BOM teachers, the matron was also sacked, she abuses students among other complaints.
The students thus said they want her transferred from the school even for the other learners to resume school. Peter Kimwele, a parent said the teacher is so humiliating as she insults parents in front of the students. He also said most parents have transferred their students from the school. Efforts to reach the teacher were futile as she did not pick calls
