The rising cases of burning of schools and stubbing of teachers since the school re-opened early this year has caused heated debate by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT).
The KNUT officials have suggested an eradication of boarding schools in the country due to the rising cases of indiscipline in schools. The Union has also opposed the introduction of corporal punishment for learners involved in cases of arson and assault of teachers and other staff.

Speaking after the elections of union officials at Afraha High School, KNUT Secretary General Mr. Wilson Sossion reiterated that day schooling will enable parents to stay with their children more and provide significant development which cannot be obtained while in boarding.
“We want parents to regain their parenting skills. The work of teachers is to impart knowledge and values to learners between 8am and 5pm. This should be the best reforms alongside employing more teachers and ensuring we have state of the art facilities in the schools,” Sossion said.
