Fifteen Form Two students were suspended from school for protesting unsanitary conditions and the lack of promised extra tuition services. Parents were left frustrated as their children were suspended without proper procedures and were not allowed to return to school for over five months.
The parents sought help from the Ombudsman, who intervened and ordered the school to readmit the students. The Education Ministry also launched an investigation and directed the school to follow fair administrative procedures.
Key Issues:
Unsanitary conditions: Students were exposed to unhygienic environments.
Unfulfilled promises: Parents paid for extra tuition that was not provided.
Procedural irregularities: The school's handling of the suspension was unfair and violated students' rights.
This case highlights the importance of fair administrative procedures and the need for educational institutions to prioritize the well-being and rights of students.
