Amidst a rise in school fires and student unrest in Kenya, education technology firms are proposing digital solutions to help schools detect and address emerging issues early.

• Robisearch, a Kenyan technology company, has developed an anonymous digital feedback platform allowing students to report concerns without revealing their identities.
• Robisearch founder Robert Manyala emphasizes that this innovation aims to bridge the communication gap between students and administration, preventing crises before they escalate.
• The platform provides a secure, cloud-based channel for students to submit complaints about issues like bullying, drug abuse, and harassment, flagging urgent matters for immediate administrative action and ensuring issues are logged digitally.
