Teachers are tempted bcz of the dress code. Advice the children / pupils and teachers to dress well for it will help to reduce the number of difilement cases in our country Zambia
Are you saying the pupils are to blame? It’s had to believe that people like you were actually breast fed by another human being.
STOP this nonsense of “ubomba Mwibala” otherwise known as chalk allowance. You have been warned!
Does it mean female teachers are free to mingle with pupils?
I am sure there will soon be donor funding to help male teachers behave themselves… it is as if we are an infantile nation that cannot just do things without a bidding. Listen – how is it that suddenly people who walked about with only a loin cloth are now naked under a mini skirt!? Muletontonkanya limo! You want to do what to the small girls kanshi!? Mwe fipuba mwe!
I thought regulations are clear concerning male teacher-female pupil sexual affairs? Are they not dismissed when found guilty of such offences?
Leave Charmaine alone! Mutinta is enough!
It is called statutory rape, not intimate relationship. Let us give teachers male and female sex education.
For us female teachers it is ok
The schoolgirls of Zambia will change the world. But they will find it much easier if they are allowed to finish school! C’mon bros!
