Teachers of Miguye Primary School in Kisumu County were forced out of their classes by frustrated parents over poor results in last year’s KCPE.
The parents found their way in to the school compound on Tuesday morning at 9am, after which they stormed the classes just a day after the school had resumed after teachers called off their two-week strike.
The infuriated parents were seeking for the school head teacher John Akuom, who on noticing their presence had locked himself in his office.
According to the parents, the school performed poorly, generally recording a mean mark of 194 marks, with only 19 pupils out of 27 scoring over 200 marks.
However, the head teacher discharged the allegations, stating that the infuriated parents had other reasons of storming the school.
Akuom explained that there were those who did not get a chance to be elected to the school board and were a disappointed lot.
“I am new in this school and they cannot accuse me of recurrent failure. I had met earlier with the parents, we both discussed how to work together to improve the students’ performance,” said Akuom.
“However, those parents who stormed the school were disappointed as they wanted to be in the board of management but they did not manage,” added Akuom.
The situation was however rescued by the area chief John Adel, who talked the parents to calm down.
