Teachers have been urged to build interpersonal relationships with their students especially those in the lower grades to help avert cases of child abuse and sexual molestation among the students both in and out of school.

Speaking during a mentorship program at Peter Kariuki Primary School in Muranga County on Saturday, May 20, the Vice President of Rotary Club of Nairobi - Lang'ata, Serah Njoroge encouraged teachers to continuously engage the students so as to understand their experiences outside the school compound.
