Kisumu Girls High School in Kisumu County has been closed indefinitely.
According to reports, the school was closed on Sunday following sustained unrest from students. Some of the students lamented there was an inhabitable environment at the school.
This came a day after the Ministry of Education announced the official closing dates for schools countrywide.
A section of the students reportedly demanded the resignation of the current principal. The chants at the national school prompted police officers to be summoned to restore peace on Sunday morning.

Reports also indicated that the students were rowdy from last evening and continued making noise and wreaking havoc in the morning forcing the abrupt closure.
Kenyans.co.ke contacted the school but did not get a response by the time of publishing this article.
Meanwhile, from the photos circulating online, the school girls were spotted with their backpacks heading home with some boarding boda bodas at the school gate.
Some were in the company of their parents and guardians unsure of when they will return to school and complete the academic year.
If the issue is not resolved, form four students will be disadvantaged as they prepare for the national examinations scheduled for November.
