Africa Daily - Is caning returning to Kenyan schools?
Download Is caning returning to Kenyan schools?
It’s time for some discipline - or, at least, that’s what the Kenyan government thinks.
The education secretary has openly called for corporal punishment to be reintroduced in schools across the country.
He says discipline (and perhaps a little caning) is the only way to deal with unruly students – who, in recent weeks, have burnt down their dormitories and attacked their teachers.
Teachers’ unions are up in arms and say they won’t accept the return to such archaic practices.
So, is physical punishment really coming back to Kenyan schools?
