Parents lament awful Dabwa School grade seven results

ZAKA – Parents with
children going to Dabwa Primary School in Zaka district have complained about the
poor results obtained by grade seven pupils this year.
Parents told
TellZim News the school recorded a 24 percent pass rate, which is the lowest in
the district. They said the school used to record at least a 30 percent pass
rate after every exam sitting but things have suddenly deteriorated to shocking
levels.
When contacted
for comment, Zaka District Schools Inspector (DSI) Samson Chidzurira confirmed
the awful results, saying parents were justified in being worried because the
record was not in sync with what they were used to.
“We are equally
worried because that has not been Dabwa’s pass rate. The school is now at the
very bottom of the district. As the ministry and the district, we should have
time to go and look into the issue to see what could be the cause and map the
way forward,” said Chidzurira.
He said he could
not blame the school head at the moment but will also look at the teaching
staff.
“We will have to
stamp our authority on the school. Though the school head has his own issues, I
cannot blame him in the mean time until we do investigations. I will have to
look at the staff and the parents’ side,” he said.
However, parents
accused the school head William Mandima and his deputy Euvancio Mukuwe for the
poor results.
“The headmaster
is a womaniser and his deputy head is strict for nothing and he is a drunkard.
He is working to destroy the headmaster so that he can take over from him. The
two are only strict with male teachers but female teachers are allowed to do as
they please. They must create a workable environment for teachers to improve
the pass rate,” said one parent.
Mandima
confirmed the poor results but said he could not be held liable alone as he was
just ‘new’ at the school.
“I cannot be
blamed for the poor pass rate. I have been at the school for only eight months
and had been struggling to have pupils come to school. Even during holiday
lessons, I had to call parents to send pupils to school but most of them did
not come.
“Some of the
parents are just after tarnishing the school’s image but they are to blame for
not supporting the school’s efforts. They do not send their children to school
when we request them to do so,” said Mandima.
