A call for stronger collaboration between parents, teachers, and students has emerged as a key solution to curbing students unrest in schools. 

Speaking during a mentorship forum in Kangundo constituency, the headteacher of Kamanzi School stressed that discipline should not be left solely in the hands of teachers. 

Instead, he urged parents and the wider community to share responsibility, offering guidance and counseling to both learners and educators.

The mentorship event, attended by more than 400 students from various schools, was organized by Lizah Foundation International. 

Its Chief Executive Officer, Elizabeth Mutuku, used the occasion to highlight the pressing need for increased government investment in education. 

She argued that more funding would strengthen institutions and improve learning outcomes, while pledging that her organization would continue championing the value of education in shaping future generations.

Mutuku also issued a rallying call to school alumni, encouraging them to return to their former schools to mentor current students. 

“Alumni have a unique role to play in inspiring learners and giving back to the institutions that shaped them,” she said, noting that such mentorship could help bridge gaps in guidance and motivation.

The forum blended motivational talks, career guidance, and discussions on discipline, underscoring the importance of community involvement in education. 

Organizers described it as part of a broader effort to instill resilience, responsibility, and ambition among young people in the country.
