The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ) on Wednesday directed the Lufinga Girls Secondary School principal to establish a parent association to ensure greater parental involvement in school affairs.
In a statement on Wednesday morning, the commission explained that the directive was necessitated by a parent's complaint highlighting corruption, unfair treatment of students, and other grievances against the principal. The complaint further indicated that the principal directed parents to deposit school fees via a mobile money shop which ended up in a private account believed to be owned by the school. ''The Principal of Lufinga Girls' Secondary School has been directed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to establish a parents association to ensure greater parental involvement in school affairs.
This decision follows a complaint lodged by a parent with the Commission, alleging corruption, unfair treatment of students, and other grievances against the Principal,'' a statement from CAJ read in part. In the allegations, the principal was accused of excluding parents from school matters and not holding meetings to discuss academic performance and other important issues.
