    "content": "number. In 2017, 108 students were arrested. I am sure going by what is happening this year, the number of students arrested will increase. The reasons why students cause unrest in schools are as mild and lack attention from school administration. Sometimes schools have strict rules and unsolved grievances. We have even cases of poor diet. Also, not being allowed entertainment time especially during the World Cup when some students went ahead and burnt their schools. Students who want to avoid exams and others have rioted because of delocalisation of their head teachers. Others have been arrested because of possessing cannabis sativa . They also rioted because of wanting to go home early before the closure of the school. A majority in this House are parents and maybe a few have just recently done a wedding and do not have school-going children. The reason why I brought this Motion is because as parents and former students, we know there are many reasons why students cause unrest in schools. There is also the aspect of peer pressure. You know when growing up, chances are that colleagues will influence how one behaves. So, we must look at these issues as parents and former students. We also have issues of crowd behaviour. When you are in a crowd, chances are that you may behave differently from your normal self. That is why as parents and leaders of this country, we must be considerate."
