TEACHER REVEALS HOW THEY MAKE MONEY FROM PARENTS

MBABANE – Parents and pupils are said to be robbed in broad daylight by some teachers who offer to teach learners on weekends.

It is also alleged that during the course of the year, teachers are compelled to ‘doctor’ pupils’ marks so as to impress parents that the primary school was doing a good job. A former teacher has opened a can of worms after parting ways with the school at the beginning of this year.
Makhosazane Tfwala said each child was to pay E250 for attending Saturday classes at the primary school, over the E5 000 a child pays as school fees.

The name of the primary school has been deliberately withheld as further investigations into the allegations are being carried out.  
She is bitter and claims to have been fired because she did not agree with the many wrongs that were happening at the school.
During the first term, according to the school prospectus, parents are to pay about E5 000 for stationary and textbooks.
However, Tfwala said when the children came to class last year they were not given the stationery, something which she then queried and she was told that parents were to buy their children’s stationary.

She said this surprised her because that was contrary to what was made as an offer in the prospectus. The former teacher said the school refused to grant her permission to teach pupils after school, between 2pm and 3pm.
Tfwala further claimed that she couldn’t take her pupils for weekend classes because the school leases out classrooms to churches and due to the noise, learning was almost impossible.

However, she alleged, a group of teachers, seniors at the school, told pupils to tell their parents to fork out extra E250 for weekend classes and the money was going to be divided among them for offering to teach during their spare time.
