St Albert’s Secondary School in Centenary, Mashonaland Central Province, recently suspended 304 pupils for taking part in “an illegal strike”.
The learners were suspended after walking 52km to Mt Darwin demonstrating against the expulsion of 23 others.
However, by Tuesday, some of the learners had returned to the school.
<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/school-suspends-304-pupils-over-demos/">The Herald</a> reported sources as saying the 23 pupils had been expelled without the approval of the regional education office, as required by the law.
The learners had paid money for a disco to play in advance, but it got to the school when it was time for them to retire to bed.
After they became violent, the school headmistress allowed the disco to play into the early hours of Sunday, 18 September.
School-leavers and other outsiders who had been allowed to attend the disco were allegedly partly to blame for the damage which left some windows shattered.
Most of the suspended pupils are in Forms Two and Three with a few in Form One.
The learners who walked to Mt Darwin were also demanding that the school provide more textbooks for A-level Geography and Divinity pupils.
They were also protesting against alleged victimisation by some teachers who borrowed money from pupils and the quality and quantity of food the school was providing.
St Albert’s, which offers both day and boarding facilities, has a total of 625 pupils.
The other complaint raised by the learners was that a high number of teachers were allegedly going out with female pupils.
Following the protests, the headmistress of the school, Sister Romano Donato, sent circulars to the parents of the affected pupils.
She instructed the learners to write a report to the school indicating the reasons for taking part in an “illegal strike”.
The Herald reported that efforts to get comments from the regional office and the Ministry of Education and Culture were fruitless.

School Suspends 304 Learners Over "Illegal Strike"

The five teachers at Ndangababi Primary School at Cross Dete in Hwange District who were ordered to leave the school by disgruntled parents and guardians are reportedly refusing to do so.
The local community recently accused five teachers of incompetence, insubordination, and disrespecting traditional and community leaders and demanded their removal by the Primary and Secondary Education ministry.
School Development Committee (SDC) deputy chairperson Olitha Ndlovu said the teachers were refusing to leave the school despite the fact that the ministry advised them to seek transfers to other schools.
Ndlovu said the teachers in question were Nkosana Toddy Ngwenya, Nelly Chisiwa, Ruvirai Sgauke, Mkhululi Maphosa, and Nyika Ndaguta.
Maphosa and Ngwenya are reportedly from Tsholotsho in Matabeleland North, while the other three were from Mashonaland provinces. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
The situation was bad here. Our school had roofs of classroom blocks blown away by strong winds in 2019. It was renovated by council through devolution funds.
But the behaviour of some of the senior teachers who have overstayed at the school is now worrying us.
These teachers do not respect the school head, they do not respect village heads.
Even if the headman visits the school, they utter a lot of disrespectful things.
</blockquote>
She said the teachers are so rude to such an extent that they tell villagers that people in Matabeleland are uneducated.
Ndlovu also revealed that the pass rate and the enrolment were decreasing at Ndangababi Primary School. She said:
<blockquote>
The school usually has 700 plus enrolment, but last year we were at 621, now it’s at 512 because people are transferring their children every day due to the low pass rate.
There are junior teachers who are working, but these seniors are a problem and have a bad influence on the juniors.
This has resulted in us writing a letter to the district schools inspector (DSI) so that they (senior teachers) are removed from the school. They are refusing to leave.
We cannot have teachers who insult us in front of our children when there are a lot of unemployed teachers.
</blockquote>
Hwange DSI Walter Moyo told Southern Eye that he was not in a position to comment on the matter. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/southerneye/local-news/article/200006707/hwange-parents-demand-expulsion-of-rude-teachers">Southern Eye</a>

"Rude" Teachers Refuse To Leave Hwange School

A Grade 10 learner has been arrested after he allegedly set a car on fire at Northbury Secondary School in Durban in KwaZulu-Natal earlier this week.
A spokesperson for Mountain Rise SAPS, Warrant Officer Pancheal Singh, said the teenager was arrested on Thursday night. He said:
<blockquote>
He was released into the care of his guardian. He is due in court on September 14 and faces a charge of malicious injury to property.
</blockquote>
The boy allegedly poured petrol on the deputy principal’s Hyundai i30 after she chastised him for having a cell phone at school, which is against the school’s policy. She also confiscated the cellphone.
DA spokesperson for Education, Dr Imran Keeka urged parents to play their part in preventing such attacks. Said Keeka:
<blockquote>
If schools have a no-cellphone policy, parents must ensure that they play their part to avoid incidents such as this, which appears to be nothing more than pure, distilled criminality.
</blockquote>
The South African Council for Educators (SACO) called on the local authorities, parents and communities to deal with the increasing violence against teachers.
It said the “rights and dignity of teachers must be respected at all times”. | <a href="https://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-and-courts/kzn-teen-arrested-for-allegedly-setting-deputy-principals-car-alight-over-cellphone-confiscation-44366cc3-0bd0-4d2c-842b-3ed4e05f2952?utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1662716863-2">IOL</a>

SA Grade 10 Student Burns Deputy Principal’s Car Over Cellphone Confiscation

The government requires $21 billion to ensure the safe reopening of schools amid the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Authorities are planning to reopen schools at the end of June, under a cautious five-phase programme but teachers have vowed not to return to work unless they are given adequate personal protective equipment (PPEs).
On Wednesday, the permanent secretary in the ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Thumisang Thabela told the parliamentary portfolio committee on Primary and Secondary Education that the mammoth figure is what is required to guarantee the safety of learners. She said:
<blockquote>We … need a grand total of $21 452 000 000 plus, but we are aware that it is a dream that we can only wish comes true.
The minister will soon be presenting our strategic plan in Cabinet and only after that will we be able to come up with definite (re-opening) dates, but we are envisaging five phases of opening.
And we need at least four weeks from now to prepare for the first phase, which will see only examination classes going back to school.</blockquote>
Thabela revealed that the government would seek the help of partners, including the United Nations (UN) agencies, to fund the re-opening.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health and Child Care announced that, as of Thursday, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases had risen to 51 including 18 recoveries, 29 active cases and 4 deaths since the onset of the outbreak on 20 March 2020.

$21 Billion Needed For Schools To Reopen

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, Thumisang Thabela has said the reopening of schools will be staggered, with exam classes resuming lessons first.
She revealed this while addressing the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Primary and Secondary Education on Wednesday.
Below are the five phases envisaged by education authorities:
Phase One: Focus is on examination classes — these are Form Fours, Form Sixes and Grade Sevens.
Phase Two: Will follow after three weeks and will be for classes writing exams in 2021. All classes will be split into two to allow social distancing.
Phase Three: Is when the rest of high school learners will go to school and in primary, Grades Three, Four and Five will return to schools.
Phase Four: classrooms will be used up due to social distancing. In this phase, Grade One and Two learners will return to class.
Phase Five: By this point, winter should be over for ECD classes to return to school.
Thabela said learners at schools like Prince Edward and Girls High School that are being used as quarantine centres would have to make a compromise when the second term starts.
