Teacher's must stop abusing students

Teacher----modern-day 'guru' symbolizes authority of knowledge and wisdom. If such a person abuses position, deserves severe punishment because schooling youngsters the worst values. The authorities’ inaction condones, their reluctance to address the issue and to prosecute perpetrators allows ‘abuse’ to flourish unchecked means encouraging it. We need to recognize the complex set of issues involved in gender violence in schools. It requires concerted efforts at all levels, including that governments initiate media and community-based campaigns around abuse that link up with human rights, ministries to ensure that professional codes of conduct are enforced and offenders prosecuted quickly and severely, communities and families to work closely with schools, ministries and NGOs to tackle school based violence matters and immoral behaviour of male teachers at girls schools.
