Abstract	The study examined students’ perspectives on the management of school discipline in the post-corporal era in Uganda Secondary Schools. It adopted a qualitative approach and employed a multiple case study design. Purposive sampling was used to select four secondary schools and participants that comprised of 32 student leaders. Data was collected using focus group discussions with interview guides developed by the researcher while audio-tape recordings were done at the same time. The collected data was then thematically analyzed. The main objective of the study was to explore the student’s perspective on the management of school discipline in the post-corporal punishment era. The credibility of the instruments was checked for consistency throughout the process of interviewing, coding, transcription, and putting into themes. The instrument's trustworthiness was assessed by pre-testing the instrument questions in 2 schools. The finding was that discipline is defined as a system, and these systems are managed through procedures such as discipline code, consultation, guidance, and counseling to modify inappropriate behaviors. The study recommends that school educators usher disciplinary problems with empathy for the possible problems students may be experiencing at school that cause their indiscipline. This necessitates the use of effective communication through dialoguing with students to promote alternative discipline approaches in schools
