PUPILS BRIBE TEACHERS FOR MARKS - COPS

PIGG’S PEAK – Some pupils have come up with a way of ensuring that they get good grades in school, through bribing teachers with money they obtained from selling dagga.

This was a startling revelation made by the police when addressing pupils of Mhlatane High School.
This was during the school’s Motivation Week session.
The police claimed that certain pupils had admitted to offering teachers money they had saved from selling the illegal herb so that they could help them obtain better grades.

Officer Nimrod Motsa, who was addressing pupils, however, did not state which schools the involved pupils were from.
Mhlatane High School hosted a Motivation Week since the beginning of this week and invited speakers from all walks of life, including pupils from Vulamasango School, which is under His Majesty’s Correctional Services.

Motsa said pupils, who cultivated dagga to generate money, admitted to bribing teachers for the purpose of making sure that they did not fail.
He condemned this act and told teachers that it was wrong because they were compromising the standard of their esteemed profession.
“If you decide to take the money, don’t make them pass,” said Motsa.

Offered

He admitted that in some cases, even police officers were offered bribes but this did not mean the person should not be arrested.
Motsa said these confessions normally arose when they were interrogating scholars believed to be dealing in dagga.
This publication also gathered that in some of the schools, pupils even offered loans to teachers.

In an attempt to establish the reasons behind this act, this publication randomly spoke to pupils from various schools to ascertain the veracity of the allegations.
Some of the pupils who were interviewed said it was wrong to do so because it undermined the work done by pupils from poor families who genuinely worked hard for their grades.
