The Bishop of Nakuru Diocese in Kenya, Maurice Muhatia Makumba, has called on heads of Catholic Private Education Institutions to eradicate bullying and abuse in schools.
“In contemporary Kenya, we have been witnessing a culture that seems to condone and perpetuate the abuse of pupils and students by peers or adults such as, bullying, corporal punishment, sexual abuse and harassment, sexual orgies, sexual perversions, violence, cultism, drugs and substance abuse,” stated Bishop Muhatia.
“With effective leadership, educational institutions can prevent, detect and respond to such evils before they ruin our young people,” he said.
The Chairman of the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops Commission for Education and Religious Education was speaking Tuesday during the opening ceremony of the 3rd Annual Conference for the Catholic Private Educational Institutions Associations (CAPEIA) at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA) in Nairobi.
