There was drama at Uradi Primary School in Kisumu West during a meeting to discuss the management of the institution when parents attacked the head teacher over poor Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examination results.
According to a local daily, Yonah Oyugi found himself in hot soup when parents demanded an explanation on the poor results recorded by the school. They attacked the teacher with chairs and stones leaving him with multiple injuries.
The parents accused the school head of mismanagement after attacking him in the presence of the pupils as the first term kicked. They also accused the principal of the school of abusing them alongside their children and mismanagement of funds at the schools.
Oyugi, however, denied the claims terming them baseless. Sources indicate that only four of the twenty-seven candidates who sat for the examinations scored 200 and above marks with the top getting 238 marks while the poorest scored 87 marks.
The fight broke out when the officials were about to enter a closed-door meeting, which was also going to be chaired by the Kisumu West director of education, Albert Langat.
