Thus, it is irrational and unjustified to continue with residential schooling as means to facilitate acquisition of education and civilisation. Therefore, abolishing of boarding schools except in ASAL regions, Approved and Special schools must be enacted in the legislation soonest.

Day schooling makes parents feel connected to their children’s education. It is costlier to run boarding schools as compared to day schools – hence, day schools should be the preferred option.
