Is caning returning to Kenyan schools?
Some students in Kenya have been attacking their teachers 鈥� so, a Kenyan minister wants to give schools the authority to physically punish their students.
It鈥檚 time for some discipline - or, at least, that鈥檚 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 鈥� who, in recent weeks, have burnt down their dormitories and attacked their teachers.
Teachers鈥� unions are up in arms and say they won鈥檛 accept the return to such archaic practices.
So, is physical punishment really coming back to Kenyan schools?
