One reason why so many teachers leave their profession today is because of the issues

that they face in school -issues and policies on discrimination against children, violence

 against children committed in school, bullying or peer abuse, cyber bullying and corporal

 punishment. Most of the teachers agree that they find it hard to impose discipline in school

because of these matters.

On the other side, the Department of Education in collaboration with its partners and

 stakeholders want to insure that all schools are conducive to the education of children and

the best interest of the child shall be their priority.   In line with this, they are encouraging all

teachers and school personnel to practice positive and non-violent discipline among school

children. Every teacher should impose holistic, constructive and proactive approach to

teaching that helps children develop appropriate thinking and behaviour.

All school, be it private  and public are ordered to protect  school children from bad

company and prevent them from acquiring habits detrimental to their health, studies and

morals.
