Education CS Magoha urges teachers to cane unruly students

News Pixels Edition

Return cane and arrest cases of students' unrests, says CS Magoha

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has called for the return of corporal punishment in schools to arrest the rising cases of indiscipline among learners.

In rooting for the re-introduction of the cane to instill discipline, the CS noted that children should not be allowed excessive freedom.

He urged parents to discipline their children instead of leaving the task to teachers. Corporal punishment was banned in 2001, and in place, the Children’s Act entails protecting children from abuse and violence was enacted.
