Trans Nzoia launches emergency measures after 17% spike in schoolgirl pregnancies

Trans Nzoia County has launched a sweeping emergency response following a disturbing 17% rise in early pregnancies among school‑going girls — a trend officials say is fueling a spike in school dropouts and worsening academic outcomes.\r\n\r\nThe County Department of Education has linked the surge to a combination of poverty, lack of access to menstrual hygiene products, and repeated expulsion of students due to unpaid school fees.\r\n\r\nIn response, the county is rolling out a multi‑pronged intervention plan aimed at keeping students in school and tackling the root causes of early pregnancies.\r\n\r\n“We are seeing a direct link between poverty and early pregnancies,” said Education CECM Janerose Nasimiyu Mutama during a bursary distribution at Muungano Secondary School. “When head teachers send students home repeatedly, especially in low‑income areas, many girls resort to transactional relationships to survive.”

Kapkoigaa Girls (Uasin Gishu)

Kapkoigaa Girls remains closed as part of the collective action over delayed funding and stalled CBA talks—staff say they have no choice while the Teachers Service Commission sits on both salary negotiations and capitation disbursements.

Drys Girls School (Uasin Gishu)

Drys Girls also joined the Uasin Gishu shutdown, with school management warning that without the full government subsidy, co‑curricular programmes and basic services cannot continue.

Simat Secondary (Uasin Gishu)

Simat Secondary in Uasin Gishu stood its campus gates shut this month as principals cited only Ksh 4,000 capitation release per learner instead of the required Ksh 22,244—making feeding and utilities impossible.

Chebareria Secondary (West Pokot)

Chebareria Secondary joined other West Pokot schools in remaining closed after KUPPET’s July 13 demand that the government release full term capitation funds—failure to do so, locals say, risks total shutdown.

Moi Kapsowar Girls National (Elgeiyo Marakwet)

Like St. Patrick’s and Yemit Girls, Moi Kapsowar Girls National was closed by July 22 following student protests over alleged heavy‑handed administration and poor boarding conditions.

Tartar Girls National (West Pokot)

In West Pokot, Tartar Girls National did not resume classes after term break, as staff joined the KUPPET‑led strike demanding both capitation release and a new Collective Bargaining Agreement from TSC.

Kondabilet Girls Secondary (Elgeiyo Marakwet)

Kondabilet—reported as a “mixed” school in some accounts—was among those in Elgeiyo Marakwet that shut down amid student unrest over food quality and exam scheduling, compounding the county’s wider second‑term disruptions.

Kaplong Girls (Kericho County)

Also hit by the capitation shortfall, Kaplong Girls remained closed in the second week of July as headteachers joined calls for the full release of government funds to keep kitchens, dorms and classrooms operational.

Chebisas Boys (Uasin Gishu County)

Although no single‑school report exists, Chebisas Boys is one of many Uasin Gishu schools that did not open after KUPPET’s July 13 ultimatum over unreleased capitation funds. Principals there warned they cannot cover feeding, utilities or teaching materials on the Ksh 4,000 per‑pupil disbursement versus the required Ksh 22,244.

Yemit Girls (Elgeiyo Marakwet)

According to Education News, Yemit Girls joined the wave of student‑led closures in Elgeiyo Marakwet on July 22, 2025—citing grievances from insufficient food rations to alleged over‑strict school leadership. The school remains closed pending resolution.

Kipsigis Girls (Kericho County)

In mid‑July, Kipsigis Girls High School was shut down indefinitely after the administration reported that students had planned a walk‑out in solidarity with exam‑boycotting peers. This follows similar unrest at nearby Litein Boys, where under‑cooked meals and exam stress triggered property damage.

St. Patrick’s National Iten Boys (Elgeiyo Marakwet)

What happened: On July 16, 2025, students at St. Patrick’s Iten Boys High School violently protested plans to sit this term’s exams—smashing windows and other property—forcing the administration to close the school indefinitely and send learners home. An official enquiry has been launched by Keiyo North Sub‑County Education Director Alice Sitienei.
