DOOM, GLOOM AS WORST PERFOMER LOZITHA HIGH PUPILS LOCKED OUT

MBABANE – With just weeks before the start of external examinations, some Lozitha National High School pupils already see doom.

This is the same school that was among the 20 worst performing in the country in the Junior Certificate Examinations last year where 93 pupils failed. In 2015, 90 of them did not make it in the same grade.

The pupils said they did not believe they would pass because they were locked out of the school and subsequently forced to miss classes by a senior administrator at the school.

According to the affected pupils, around 50 of them were locked out yesterday after they arrived after 7:30am. About 20 of them were said to be in Form III and Form V.

The lockout exercise is said to have started after schools opened last week. What bothers the pupils was that they were locked out for the whole day and their reasons for arriving late were not entertained.
Those who will sit for their Junior Certificate Examinations stated that they were currently doing their oral examinations and doing revision in most subjects.

“We do not know what we will write during the examinations because we are missing a lot of class time as we sit here,” the pupils said.
When asked why they were aggrieved about being locked out since they were not at school on time, they explained that some of them stayed far from the school and had to board more than one bus to get there.
