About 100 students from Kabianga High School were pictured taking their unfinished assignment outside the school compound while seated on grass under bright sunlight.
The head of school, Principal Joash Aloo said that the punishment was activated after the students failed to honor a pledge made in witness of their parents on August 2nd, 2018.
“We had an Annual General Meeting on August 2 in which parents asked us to find a way to make the students study during holidays. We then agreed to be giving them assignments so that parents will supervise,” Dr Aloo told a local daily.
He also said that the assignment which was to be taken three hours on a daily basis for three weeks, had only 100 students who failed to finish, out of a total of 1530 students.
“Kabianga was once an academic giant and all stakeholders are determined to take it up the chart. The agreement we had about vocational studies during AGM is one of it, that is why parents and the boys are not complaining about this punishment,” said Mr Aloo.
The students were later admitted into school after finishing the assignment
