| dc.description.abstract | The measure of the executive is the ability to get the right thing at the right time. This usually involves
doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. To be effective, is
the job of the executive. One of the most effective management tool used by an executive of an
institution or organisation is discipline. To many people, discipline means punishment, pain, and fear.
According to this view discipline is a negative word and considered as not being positive and
educative. This paper discusses the place of punishment as a discipline in education. It outlines the five
types of punishment and describes how they are used in schools or in the classroom, reasons for
punishing students and the results of such punishment on students learning. It will also examine the
implications of discipline in relation to the government ban on corporal punishment and the new
constitution of vision 2030. The paper ends by providing suggestions that principals of secondary
schools need to learn essential skills which are effective for school management. | en_US |
