School Heads Demand US Dollars To Facilitate Form One Places
PARENTS caught looking for Form One places at various schools yesterday blamed middle persons who were promising them vacancies claiming that they were connected to school heads.
Most of the parents at the schools expressed displeasure over people and other school staff demanding money from them.
One of the parents who got a place at Vainona High School at the last hour said she was asked to pay US$40 by one of the staff members at one of the boarding schools.
“I was promised a Form One vacancy at Howard Mission and I paid the middle person some United States dollars only to block my contact on the last minute,” said the parent.
“Kuma boarding schools uko ndiko kunemazinyaya nekuti ukatadza kuburitsa ma US inoenda kuma headmaster wotoziva kuti hapana hapana.
“Headmasters are kings when it comes to school vacancies. Vana vakafoira vanopfumisa ma headmaster nechiwoko muhomwe vamwe vachifa nezvirwere vapfimba madzimai asina kukwana.
“I was forced to look for alternative place after the person who pocketed my money failed me.
“Most of the boarding schools we were told to return next term when they expect some to have transferred their children to other schools due to exorbitant fees.-H-Metro
