Three teachers from the same school in Nyamache Sub-county have been arrested and are spending the night in police cells for alleged negligence.
Accordingly KNUT Executive Secretary Lucy Machuki, the head teacher, his deputy and a class teacher were picked from the school after a parent reported his two children failed to get back home after school.
When he made a follow up to the school, the three teachers reportedly answered him rudely, a behaviour that angered him and reported the matter to the police.
Machuki blamed parents for molesting teachers over the care of their children instead of questioning themselves over the abdication of their parental roles.
“Is it the responsibility of teachers to take care of the children after they have been released from school?” she wondered.
She had been attending a colleague’s meeting but was forced to leave in a huff to follow up on the matter of the arrest.
When Education News tried to reach Nyamache Sub-county Director for Education Josephine Onduso for comment, the phone calls went unanswered.
The tension between teachers and parents in the area has been protracted since last year when some videos of children being forced into feigned sexual acts went viral. The shameful incident quickly led to the arrest of six teachers.
