When Schools Fail: Who Protects Kenya's Children?

School and Parental Responsibility in Child Discipline Cases: A Kenyan Perspective In Kenya, the issue of school and parental responsibility when children are suspended or expelled is under the spotlight. A recent TV47 interview with High Court Advocate Peter Wasaga sheds light on this complex issue. Wasaga stresses the importance of clear communication between schools and parents, stating, "When a child is suspended or expelled, it means they are disturbed and in urgent need of protection both from the school and the parents." The interview highlights several cases where children have suffered harm or even death on school grounds, raising concerns about the lack of legal action. Wasaga's recommendation for clearer policies and communication protocols offers a potential solution to improve child safety and accountability within the educational system. The interview underscores the need for a proactive approach to ensure the well-being and protection of children in educational settings, which is a matter of great public concern.
