Kenya's learning sector is once again facing significant disruption due to ongoing protests, forcing schools and parents to prioritize student safety over academic attendance.

• June 25, 2026 marked the anniversary of the Anti-Finance Bill 2024 Gen Z protests, highlighting a recurring issue of learning disruption.
• Kenya Secondary School Heads Association (KESSHA) officials expressed concerns that violent protests frequently hinder both student and teacher commutes, negatively impacting educational institutions.
• The protests not only physically impede movement and disrupt school programs, particularly for day scholars, but can also influence learners' perceptions, sometimes encouraging them to join demonstrations.
