A top official at a private school owned by Nova Pioneer Kenya Limited has lost her job after a court upheld her dismissal for falsified fire drill records, highlighting the obligation of learning institutions to ensure the safety and welfare of minors under their care.
The Employment and Labour Relations Court in Nairobi found that the dismissal of Ms AK, a Dean of Students at Nova Pioneer School, was lawful and procedurally fair, and dismissed her claim for more than Sh2.3 million in compensation.
