A section of alumni of Lodwar Boys High School are calling for complete overhaul of the institution’s current administration, citing poor performance in the recent KCSE results.
Led by the chairman, Lodwar Old Boys Association (LOBA), Dr Robert Abok, the former students termed the results as unacceptable.
“As the association chairman, I am very embarrassed. The existing school administration should be overhauled as soon as possible,” said Abok.
The school posted a mean grade of 5.5616, with no candidate scoring an A or A- grade. Six candidates scored B+, 19 B, 28 C+, 40 C, 27 C-, 45 D+, 27 D and 2 D-.
Another alumnus, Lomenen Junior, said, “These results hurt deeply. 74 Ds from a national school are not just mere statistics but a wake-up call.”
What happened to the culture of excellence that built this institution? We owe our students, teachers, parents and alumni better,” he said.
According to Lomenen, the school needs a serious leadership audit so as to ensure accountability and a return to discipline, mentorship and academic focus.
While responding to critics who accused the ex-students of not doing enough to support the school, Dr Abok said, “For the last 5 years, LOBA has constantly supported the school with provision of 850 books in 2025 worth over Sh1 million, besides continuous engagement with the school administration, teachers and students on ways of improving performance.
He added, “We have so far done 4 rounds of mentorship engagements and completed a Sh15 million modern library and further renewed efforts among our alumni to improve the overall infrastructure of the school.”
As LOBA chairman, I am so proud of what we have achieved and we expect our efforts to be reflected in the school’s performance,” said Abok.
