Investigations by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary
Education into allegations of sexual and verbal abuse at Monte Cassino Girls
High School have established that students’ grievances are genuine and need to
be addressed.
Acting Mashonaland East Education Director, Ms Taurai
Mudita confirmed the finalisation of the report but refused to shed more light
on the contents of the report citing official secrecy.
“Yes, I can confirm that the report is out and that the
students’ grievances were genuine and need to be addressed. We are in the
process of engaging the school to implement some of the recommendations,” she
said.
However, according to sources privy to the report, four
teachers, three females and one male, were fingered in the verbal and sexual
abuse allegations with the report having recommended that they be put to their
defence.
Issues of health and safety were also raised with the
school accused of being overcrowded, putting the health of learners at risk. zbc
More than 200 learners from the Catholic church-run school
walked more than 7km to Macheke Police Station to present their grievances.
