Uphold ban on corporal punishment in school

The outlawing of corporal punishment in schools was not impulsive. It followed deliberations and case studies that determined it was institutionalised violence against children. Indeed, at the World Education Conference in Dakar, Senegal, in 2000, Kenya was cited for promoting child abuse. Thereafter, then Education Minister Kalonzo Musyoka outlawed corporal punishment.

Before then, teachers had abused the concept of punishment so much that most of it ended up causing grievous injuries to students, and in some cases, death.
