Evelyn Hone College has re-opened after being shut following protests by students. While Students were seen trooping into the school’s campus management has challenged the students not to engage themselves in any form of violence when airing their grievances.
College spokesperson Mwelwa Mandona has disclosed that management will take up the task of rebuilding infrastructure which was damaged during the recent riots to enable the students learn in a conducive environment.
Over 70 students, 49 females and 21 males, were apprehended by police for their alleged involvement in the riots.
Glad to hear this.I hope the students will learn something from this incident en think twice before throwing more stones again.
Hahahahaha, they must be humbled, wink wink hehhehehhehhe.
Vote wisely next time
Shall we put 90 days on the clock to make sure management fixes the problems.
And shall qr say when they don’t honor their words?
Te #bufi fye ubu?
Both the students and the administration should learn to resolve issues without resorting to violence. The administration, by its failure to address critical problems faced by students provoked the sitution. KK and his colleagues in UNIP abandoned peaceful campaigns when the Northern Rhodesia govt refused to listen to words of reason. Most admins in our colleges behave like that. Student unrest is rare where administrations are effective and proactive. Blocked toilets and dry taps are not acceptable anywhere esp 4 the ladies biological make up. No wonder they formed a majority of those arrested.
Timely unblocking of toilets and/or replacing components; ensuring continuous flow of water and ensuring that cooks do their work-cook good meals and the Ministry of Education releases funding timely – just everyone does their work. By the way in well run boarding schools/colleges, members of staff including the CEO dine with students on many occasions. That is good mgt, good corporate governance. What happens in our colleges and universities is the complete opposite of good corporate governance. Institute of Directors of Zambia, where are you?
Have the repairs been done? how will this be done while the students are still there?
FTJ would have closed that college for years.
Students stop been childish how can you burn the house that you live in! where are you goin to sleep the next day,,think twice before reacting
