Nyaluza principal to be reinstated

The education department has announced its plans to reinstate banished Nyaluza Senior Secondary School principal Washington Mushwana.

The principal was removed from the school as a "safety measure" after teachers called for his head four months ago.

The education department has announced its plans to reinstate banished Nyaluza Senior Secondary School principal Washington Mushwana.

The principal was removed from the school as a "safety measure" after teachers called for his head four months ago.

Education department provincial spokesperson Malibongwe Mtima said that after investigating the issue through consulting with the school’s stakeholders a meeting to reinstate Mushwana will be held on Monday.

The meeting will be attended by members of the School Governing Body (SGB) and the school management and Mushwana will be accompanied by his lawyers and department officials.  

"Since there was a void in the school left by Mushwana’s absence, the department has since sent a subject advisor to teach Maths lessons to Grade 12s at the school," Mtima explained.

"At the moment the school is busy with CAss [Continuous Assessment] mark moderations."The department removed Mushwana from the school in May on the grounds that they could not guarantee his safety.

This was after teachers at the school embarked on a strike action protesting against the selection of a "foreigner" to a senior post.

The teachers believed that Mushwana was responsible for the selection (of which they evidently did not approve) and continued with their strike for four weeks.

While Ongeziwe Mtweba, president of the school’s Representative Council of Learners, confirmed there are Maths lessons taking place, she emphasised that a Maths teacher for junior grades was teaching Grade 12s.

"There’s no subject advisor brought to the school by the department," she said. Mtweba said her CAss mark for Maths is "not good" as she did not do well in the recent preliminary exams due to them not completing the syllabus.

"We need intensive help from our teacher to cover the outstanding work if we are to pass the final exams," she added.

Contrary to promises, Mushwana’s attorney, Denver Braadt of East London-based Kirchmann’s Inc, had not commented on the matter at the time of going to print.
