Students lose out

THERE is an ongoing issue with schools in the Highlands where students have been deprived of their rights to learn by power-hungry individuals.
Nepotism and selfishness are two of major aspects of our bureaucrats who manage higher offices.
Fighting over who is to be the school principal is one of the major issues students and parents are faced with.
Parents pay the required amount of school fees, but their children are not attending classes and are forced to return home.
An example is the recent row over who will be the principal of Mendi Day Secondary and Nipa Secondary schools in Southern Highlands.
The two pioneer schools in the province must go under scrutiny and let the children return to their normal classes.
Do not be victims today and regret tomorrow.
We are fed up with this kind of attitude.
My appeal to the leaders of Nipa-Kutubu, especially the MP and the governor, is to look into this issue and not to turn a blind eye to what is happening.
