Effectiveness of Alternative Discipline Strategies

Unrests in secondary schools which result in death of students and destruction of school property has been reported world wide, Kenya not being an exception. After the ban of corporal punishment through a "Kenya Gazette" Legal Notice Number 56 of 2001, which is in line with children's Act, it has become increasingly difficult for teachers and head teachers to instill discipline on rioting students. Though the Ministry of Education gave alternative measures of curbing indiscipline such as guidance and counseling and arresting culpable students,the unrests have not been effectively contained. Alternative measures and their effectiveness have therefore been assessed in this book which can assist teachers, head teachers and Education stake holders to tackle this menace.
