In February, Education CS Prof George Magoha said teachers on duty and prefects would be held accountable for school fires.
“The role of the teachers is to enforce discipline and offer counselling to learners. Don’t allow learners to be more intelligent than you,” said the CS.
“We should ensure there are no more fires in schools by having a system that works to tame the vice.”
He warned that details of students found culpable would have their details included in a database “that can be used against them in their entire career.”
