Form 3 student commits suicide after being told to repeat class

Daniel Owouth: Let the youths not use suicide as a way of solving problems. In such a case the boy still had a chance of joining another school where he could be accepted or drop out of school and engage himself in other activities.

Stephen Miano: Any decision to make one repeat should be arrived at after consultation with the student, his/her parents and the class master, to convince the child based on his/ her performance. You don’t go making your bedroom decisions and then enforce them.
