“Immediately the incident was discovered the girls school’s board of management held an emergency meeting then decided to suspend the girls from the boarding wing,” said an officer who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.
According to reports, the 20 boys involved were also identified by their school before being summarily getting suspended.
“Just like the girls, they will make own boarding arrangements and be sitting their examination from outside the school,’’ said a source.
“In this respect, the girls will have to sit the KCSE from outside the school as per school rules applying the education act conduct of ethics,’’ said the RC.
In mixed schools, the RC further directed the schools to strictly separate boys and girls to avoid such unfortunate acts.
