ABSTRACT The Ministry of Education and Technology (MOEST) in Kenya banned corporal punishment in schools in 2001. By a Legal Notice (LN) number 56 of 2001.

Following the ban, cases of students’ indiscipline appeared to be on the increase hence sparking off the debate on the re-introduction of corporal punishment. Efforts by the head teachers, parents and other stakeholders to influence the government to lift the ban have not been fruitful.

The study will also shed light to the students, teachers, head teachers on discipline in secondary schools in Nyeri Municipality Division by establishing the effects disciplinary measurers that can be adopted to manage students discipline following the ban on corporal punishment.
