Discipline hoists Nyangwa School to excellence

The electronic bell tolls at exactly 11.20a.m. Not a student in the silent compound of Nyangwa Boys’ High School in Mbeere South Sub-County, Embu County, responds to the bell. In other schools, the sound could be followed by noisy excited students filing out of classrooms.

This too, was the case at Nyangwa. Not any more. The 1,300 students have learnt to take their tea hastily and dash back to class before the bell; they are always a minute or so ahead of the gong.
