The lack of parental guidance coupled with an overemphasis on material wealth and success has been blamed for a troubling wave of moral decay among the youth.
Education stakeholders on Wednesday said these issues are among the main factors that have pushed youth further away from core values such as integrity, empathy, and respect for others.
At a Nairobi session on Wednesday, the matter came up where stakeholders pushed for change to have younger Kenyans inculcate values in their view of the world.
Under the theme of 'Cultivating lifelong character and holistic growth,' teachers, religious leaders, the business community and political figures have been urged to come together in a bid to address the root causes of challenges threatening the moral fabric of the nation.
