Mr. Japheth Masibu, the County Director of Education for Baringo, affirms that the  ongoing insecurity has caused a notable drop in student attendance.

Sibilo Secondary School, Koroto Primary School, Moinonin Primary School, and  other institutions were all closed indefinitely, making the disruption to education  in the area worse.
