Although the schools did not disclose specific details regarding the incidents that prompted the closures, the simultaneous announcements have attracted attention and point to a broader effort by school administrators to contain tensions and prevent further disruptions.
The affected institutions are among a growing number of schools that have temporarily suspended learning in recent weeks as authorities work to restore order. The latest developments come amid a wave of unrest reported in several secondary schools across the country, only weeks before the second-term half-term break.
