One hundred and forty-five students at Monte Cassino girls
in Macheke today besieged Macheke Police Station in protest over a number of alleged
grievances which include poor food, sexual harassment, verbal abuse and
corporal punishment.
The students also alleged that the school confiscated
laptops belonging to some students alleging abuse, and was depriving students
who would not have come for vacation lessons.
The students are said to have walked a distance of over 6
km to Macheke and camped at the police station.
They had left the school at 4am and arrived at the police
station at 7am on foot.
When ZBC News arrived at Mucheke police station, the
students were being addressed by Ministry of Education officials in the
presence of the ZRP before they boarded transport back to school around 12
noon. zbc
