Machakos School Incorporates Hyena Education in Curriculum

A school in Kaseveni, Matungulu Sub County, Machakos County, has been forced to incorporate hyena education due to repeated attacks that resulted in the loss of life and property.

Baraka Awali Preparatory School, near the Oldonyo Sabuk Game Reserve, implemented these safeguards in response to marauding hyenas that were killing cattle and threatening people.

The school provided lessons on hyenas as part of the mitigation measures, covering their behaviors and how to deal with these problematic beasts.

Chrisphine Oluoch, the Manager of Baraka Hawali School, revealed that the effort stemmed from concerns that many children couldn’t tell the difference between hyenas and dogs.

Oluoch stated that several children had been killed by these beasts, spreading fear and terror across the town. As a result, the school has changed its schedule to guarantee that children return home before sunset to prevent confrontations with roaming hyenas.

Parents, concerned for their children’s safety, have resorted to accompanying them to and from school, frequently beginning their day as early as 4 a.m. This precaution is important since hyenas become active about 5 p.m. and pose a hazard to anyone outside.

Grace Ireri, another mom, lamented the community’s troubles with hyena attacks, recalling previous occurrences in which livestock were murdered and a pupil died. Despite these problems, the opening of the new school has provided respite by drastically lowering the distance children must travel to acquire an education.

Despite their proximity to the Ol Donyo Sabuk wildlife reserve and the Athi River banks, inhabitants recognize the challenge of completely removing hyenas.

As a result, they emphasize the significance of learning to coexist with these animals, condemning the government’s alleged delay in resolving the matter and compensating impacted individuals.

Residents are frustrated by their lack of knowledge about the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the lack of compensation for losses, and the community’s overall infrastructural issues, which include inadequate roads, electricity, water, healthcare, and educational facilities. They advocate for government intervention to address these serious issues.
