The tradition of fagging at the prestigious boarding school was a long-standing one, with senior students assigning tasks and chores to their younger counterparts.

The new headmaster at the boarding school decided to abolish the outdated practice of fagging, believing it to be a form of bullying and abuse.

The younger students were relieved when the headmaster announced the end of fagging, as many of them had been subjected to degrading and humiliating tasks.

Some of the older students, however, were disappointed by the decision, as they felt that fagging was a rite of passage and helped to foster a sense of community.
