Training of teachers and prefects can help end bullying in our schools

A sad school girl sits on her own as other children play in the background. [Standard]

I am the product of a boarding school. I went to Nairobi School from Form One to Six. Years after leaving school, I still carry the discipline the institution instilled in me. I have developed lifelong friendships that I hold dear. Nairobi School made me who I am today. Currently, I am debating with my wife whether we should send our daughters to boarding school – but frankly, I am scared.
