Prof. Nalova Lyonga, Minister of Secondary Education, MINESEC, has ordered parents of some eight suspected female students of Government Bilingual High School Ekounou, Yaounde to tender to her office letters of undertaking, pledging their children will not be involve in the deviant acts on school campuses any longer.
“When this incident happened and the students went back home, I asked what did your mother said to you and she says she didn’t say anything,” Nalova revealed while expressing her disappointment to the role of parents in the face of rising moral decadence within the school milieu.
“I have asked the parents to write to me. I am waiting for those letters,” Nalova stated. “Parents have to know that those students are seeing each other as a pair. If a parent want to organize couple, let them take their children out of school. We don’t want that in school,” she stated.
Reacting to questions related to the fate of the students, the Minister said she won’t wish them dismissed as at the moment because she has realized they need more of help.
“…now I cannot send the students out of the school. The girls need help and the boys also need help. It is not just to punish the children,” she said.
Nalova also challenged school administrators to play their role in monitoring students or be sanctioned. “It is what have been done in school to ensure that those children are within the school and that they are safe, if the management is funny then they too have to pay for it,” she warned.
She also used the surprise visit to launch an impromptu search operation or drugs and dangerous weapons among students. The institution it should be said has at least 7000 students.
