  • Are you looking for details about the rise of school fires in Kenya? Check out this article for more information about the cause of arson in Kenyan schools.

The article from Tuko.co.ke discusses the alarming increase in school fires in Kenya, particularly in boarding schools, and debates the merits of abolishing boarding education. It highlights several recent incidents where fires have caused significant damage to school properties, leading to loss of educational materials and infrastructure. The piece argues that boarding schools, originally established to provide education in remote areas, might now be contributing to student safety issues due to overcrowding, poor supervision, and the stress of living away from home. It suggests that the government should consider transitioning to day schools, which could potentially reduce these risks by allowing students to live with their families, thereby improving oversight and reducing the psychological pressures that might contribute to arson. The article also touches on the economic implications, noting that while boarding schools can be expensive, the cost of rebuilding after fires is even higher.
