There was drama at Raga Primary School in Karungu Division, Nyatike district after parents and pupils went on the rampage demanding the transfer of the head teacher after he burned pupils’ sandals.

The head teacher collected the sandals from the over 400 pupils and set them ablaze arguing they are not part of the school uniform.

Today, pupils and parents demonstrated up to the school carrying placards and twigs demanding his immediate transfer from the school.

The head teacher who is also the Migori KNUT vice chairman locked his office and fled from the angry pupils and parents.

The pupils who accompanied their parents on barefoot vowed never to resume classes until the head teacher is transferred.

Nyatike district education officer Kinaiya Siloma confirmed that his office is aware of the incident and there is already a panel constituted to look into the matter.

Siloma however urged parents to give dialogue a chance and not to disrupt the learning process of their children.
