School Strike
We have schools going on strike each day burning their own belongings. Have the parents failed in the upbringing, has our morals corrupted as a society following the post election violence By Scraping out the mocks, reducing the tuition hours, is the government giving in to the students can we find a long term solution?

may be to have the strike end, the school management should come with a comprehensive policy that will address all the problems lying within the students.

The first call of man is to become human. Infact, Jesus became man to show us what it means to be human. However, man assumes he is already very human and therefore tries to becomes the ‘other’. The chaos we have witnessed in schools is not a case in isolation but the situation across the globe. The solution lies in realising that we desperately need to be human. Only a human person has the capacity to seek and receive information and be redeemed by it. otherwise we are only peddling a fib, wringing our hands in mock honor.

Tuition is also a contributing problem and I welcome the education ministries option to once again outlaw extra tuition in schools.

I wish to point my views on the causes of indiscipline and strikes in schools. For a start many parents have abdicated their roles in bringing up their children and infact they are no longer positive role models and also fail to inspire their children. Secondly, our society tends to glorify wealth over positive upbringing; therefore children from humble backgrounds are often second rated. Our society has also failed to capture the imagination and creativity of the young people and to link this with the objectives of providing them with an education that empowers them. Lastly, I think our managers of education system and the bureaucrats and policy makers have failed to provide creativity and dynamism in the provision of education and therefore it seems to many a waste of time and money. Consequently, the youth have nothing to look forward to and or believe in, they will therefore fall for anything thrown on their path including, criminal gangs like mungiki and taliban, rogue politics, prostitution and its associated problems (teenage pregenancy, single parenthood, HIV and AIDS), drugs. Worst of all they lack the confidence and the ability to face and endure in life.
