Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has called for the abolition of boarding schools in the country to curb rising cases of arson and assault on teachers and other staff since January.
The union has also vehemently opposed plans to reintroduce corporal punishment of learners caught up in indiscipline cases in schools saying this leaves the safety of teachers at risk.
KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion spoke to journalists at Afraha High School in Nakuru after the members conducted elections of union officials from eleven counties.
