Nyazura Adventist Secondary School headmaster Mr Onias Tendere is under fire for allegedly violating children's rights after sending home a Form One pupil a week after the beginning of this school term because he was not personally involved in the child's enrollment.
The child's parents argued that they had been offered a place through the school secretary and had paid all fees and bought uniforms.
When an altercation ensued between the parents and the headmaster over the expulsion of the boy, the parents had to withdraw their daughter who was in Form Three at the same school in protest.
The father argues that the children's right to education was violated.
The father argued that he spent $2 359 on the children's fees, transport, uniforms, groceries, levies and other items only to be told eight days later that the headmaster had expelled them.
The parents, through their lawyer, wrote a letter to the headmaster demanding a refund of $2 359 within 24-hours of service. Failure by the school to pay the refund will result in the parents issuing out summons against the school and Mr Tendere in his personal capacity.
The children, according to the lawyer,were deprived of their right to education and went through emotional pain and suffering at the hands of the school.
