Tension is high at Ramba High School following a student-led protest that turned violent, leaving part of the school property in flames. The unrest erupted early this morning as students voiced their outrage over the recent tragedy that claimed the lives of two of their schoolmates on March 23, 2025.
The protesting students are calling for the immediate transfer and removal of the school's principal, Mr. Manowa, whom they blame for negligence leading to the fatal incident. While the full details surrounding the tragedy remain unclear, students insist that poor administrative decisions contributed to the deaths.
Eyewitnesses report that the protest quickly escalated into chaos, with groups of students torching sections of the school compound. The blaze is said to have affected key facilities, though authorities are yet to release an official damage report.
Police have since been deployed to the institution to restore order and prevent further destruction. Education officials from the region are also expected to visit the school to assess the situation and initiate dialogue with students, parents, and staff.
Efforts to reach Mr. Manowa for comment have so far been unsuccessful, but insiders say the administration is under pressure from both the Ministry of Education and the community to act swiftly.
Parents and stakeholders are now calling for an independent investigation into the incident that led to the deaths, as well as a thorough review of the school’s leadership and safety protocols.
