Eighty form four students from Matulungu secondary school stormed out of the school, claiming to be stressed and fatigued. The students had rioted, claiming the school administration failed to meet their demands.
They further added that they have been surviving on a poor diet that led them to boycott meals.
“We are tired of studying. The principal has been too strict and has been denying us our rights,” said the students.
“We prefer to stay at home and only come to do our examinations when the time comes,” they added.
The students claimed that they never attended entertainment but were on the book throughout. They stated that they needed a break to ease and relax their mind.
The school principal, however, denied the claims stating that the students had portrayed gross misconduct.
He further noted that the students who walked out had been accustomed to a freestyle lifestyle and were finding it hard following instructions.
“Those who walked out of the school are suffering from freestyle kind of living where they do not want to adhere to basic regulations for conducive learning,” he said.
“We will remain firm, and as a school, we will not entertain any indiscipline that threatens smooth learning,” stated the principal.
The parents of the students got notified of the incident.
